Here are the results to Mike's run:

We followed each other down to Gainesville Raceway and he ran right after me every time on the same lane.

Quote:
'09 135i 6MT
JB3 1.3_8C2 map 8 (really map 7 based on 1.22 list)
245/40R17 Nitto 555Rs @ 20-23 psi
Riss Racing Downpipes | BMS DCI | BMS CDV | Code3 FMIC
~100 octane - Sunoco 260 GT 100 octane, 1/4 tank


1st run:
60' 2.163
1/8 8.118 @ 94.62mph
1000 10.394
1/4 12.311 @ 119.89mph
*1st run of the day - was focused on stomping Brian!



2nd run:
60' 2.063
1/8 8.088 @ 93.10mph
1000 10.372
1/4 12.293 @ 119.92mph
* Delays between 2-3 & 3-4 Shift (not driver error!)



3rd run:
60' 2.163
1/8 8.357 @ 92.42mph
1000 10.654
1/4 12.583 @ 119.07 mph (this was my 120+ run!!)
*Wheel Hop in 2nd made me get off and back on it.



4th run - 1.96 60' | 12.28@117.5mph

Last run - 2.025 60' | 12.25@116.5mph



In Summary: Although I've improved launching this car, I still stand by two major holdbacks are: 1) Clutch Delay between shifts, 2) Terrible Gear Ratios.

What I still need to improve myself is consistently meeting 1.8/1.9's which I feel I'm very close to breaking thru that barrier. (4th time at the track for a total of about 20 passes).

The tune is rock solid all the way to the top, and to be honest it PULLS like a freight train to 140-150 area. I will break into the 121-122mph with these mods just need some track prep like we saw on our last run... very sticky!




Compare it to last time on 93 (pump!) at Orlando Speedworld (3/21/09):


1st run:
60' 2.172
1/8 8.309 @ 91.40mph
1000 10.639
1/4 12.640 @ 113.50mph
*major wheel hop at launch thus backed way out of it


2nd run: | An hour later!
60' 2.222
1/8 8.343 @ 92.32mph
1000 10.660
1/4 12.610 @ 116.31mph
*Bogged it outta the hole (about 2500rpm launch) and then she woke up in 2nd

3rd run: | An hour and fifteen later!
60' 2.207
1/8 8.389 @ 92.45mph
1000 10.702
1/4 12.651 @ 116.33mph
*against another 135i but he was 6AT he ran 12.764@111mph w/100oct v1.22 map 7
