Temp was about 90, forgot what the d/a was but the other racers there said it sucked today. 14.6@ 96mph.
for comparison my car bone stock did 15.2@92mph. seems like a stock 330i is still faster.

Your D/A at Orlando Speedway at the time you ran was 1349. You can looked it up here they log the D/A for most every major track:

Also at that link you can run the corrected times for your D/A which I did for you:
Driving makes a much bigger difference in the car than you think. When I look at dragy times there’s a graph that shows acceleration force and you can plainly see how someone’s launch and shifting can affect a run. I wouldn’t say your car runs a d/a corrected 14.4 because that isn’t exactly true.
What’s true is that your car runs *with you driving* a d/a corrected 14.4. We don’t know what a stock 330 would run *with you driving*, lol
