Tonight I ran my buddies new 335is. I am 2007 procede aggressive maps, intakes and downpipes. We did a second gear roll and were pretty much dead even till I hit 4th where I started to pull away. And I wasn't really pulling away hard. Is this normal? I figured I would have smoked him. I'm thinking I should go back to the 7-29 maps.
What's your guys thoughts?

There is no way that should happen. There is something wrong with your setup. A tuned car with DPs should pull immediately on him from a roll from 2nd gear unless you were spinning the tires like crazy!

What transmissions are those cars? I have an is as well but something sounds off.

[Bme30]

I have a manual trans and he has the dct trans. As for spinning the wheels, I was getting great traction, so I was wondering the same thing. To be honest I am slightly upset over the results.
Now the question is what should i do?

[RnmEvo9]

Maybe he secretly put in a tune?

Either your car isnt running right, or your just a very slow shifter.

[TXTT]

Dyno ! or maybe your 2007 has grown weary .

[Beemw335]

LOL maybe you were in map 0??

7 seconds of overboost at 14 psi all the way to redline, I doubt seriously there is anything wrong with his tune. That is the nature of the 335is DCT that is the same as the M3 DCT.

I dont know why that comes as a suprise. The same scenario can be had with me. I did 12.5 in a 1/4 mile with only 14 psi, FMIC and exhaust while you have FBO + Meth + non-RFT + 16-18PSI cars running the same numbers all over the place.

Its just simply put, the 335is DCT is nothing to recone with

[cn555ic]

+1. Either he is not telling you he has a tune, there is no way a stock 33is should be even lose to a tuned procede at 15-16 psi

[KG3356MT]

Maybe the DCT was the factor? I had a manual 07 335 before my 2012 335is DCT and the manual pales in comparison, but your making too much power to lose. Wierd.

datalog, see if everything is working properly

I saw a thread about your 1/4 mile time. That was awesome. Gonna be COBB tuned soon so I hope I can get some times up as well.

To the OP, maybe do some logs and run the race back again.

More than likely...by time he hit 4th gear his friend with the 335is DCT was already in 5th gear and the 14 PSI already rolled off.

335i with those upgrades should kill a DCT m3 and nevermind 335is lol

yeah but he is on the aggressive mapping where boost comes on really early in the powerband whereas the 335is, I am sure he is not seeing 14 psi down low...I am sorry there is no way especially in second gear! Either he granny shifted or somethings up.

If his friend hit that kick down at high RPMs on that roll, then yes that 14 PSI of boost came instantly on the spot

[themyst]

Um dct vs manual, not a fair comparison. Dct will blow the doors off a comparable manual with less power. Explains why those dct N55s can run so quick with less power... Not surprised actually.

I dunno too much about the IS models in terms of overboosting for 7 seconds and all, but I still find it hard to believe that it was even that close.

I dunno but I still find it hard to believe a Procede with aggressive maps and DPs not pull hard on a STOCK 335is..
