Hey Will - good to see you here. How many of you guys are coming down for the event? I only see that Prem registered so far...but the list may not be completely up to date.

Are most of you staying at the SoCal hotel? I wanted to meet up and have a few beers with you guys. I'm not sure if the Vishnu crew is staying at the NorCal hotel so I am waiting to book. I'm trying to stay where the party is at! ![]() |

Shift S3ctor Organized By Horsepower
Anyone want to speculate how the HP vs Torque will play out at Shift S3ctor? I see a few good races between classes in the 400 and 500 hp cars. Can't wait to see Prem smoke Adam Bullock's 600 hp M3... LOL For those who don't know, Prem is running a Single Turbo 335 AT and it's no joke... He would more than likely give the 700 hp M3's a run for their money considering the nasty torque curve his car has.

Both Days 08 e92 335i Mods: JB4 FBO+Meth (Will have RBs installed by then) WHP: 420(will update after RBs) All paid up and ready to go! Question: Will there be dead stop 1/2 mile races as well if both parties agree? Or is it only roll on? Last edited by Sick335; 09-14-2012 at 04:05 AM.. |

Guys: DLSJ5 has volunteered to do a lot of the video editing for Shift-S3ctor. He is putting together the videos like the ones you have seen posted here and other on the 'net after the event. He will also be putting something together for Bimmerpost so I will be helping him collect all your vids from the event.
I will be there both days with a thumb drive + laptop and can collect your run footage there or you can email me then or later. Just make sure to remember the mods of cars you ran against. I know a lot of you have a GoPro but if you don't...no worries...you can get very inexpensive ($5) inside window mounts for your iPhone that do the job.

Yes I do think Prem will beat me but it will be because he will be making more peak HP than me. We both learned from the previous events to sandbag a bit on the crank HP rating. We will both be making closer to 600 wheel HP but I have a feeling he will be making a lot more and his car is lighter. But...as Prem knows, in the past I've beaten him in our 335's when he was making quite a bit more power...so I have to admit that a little strategy doesn't hurt ![]()

On that note, my M3 seems to be a ringer. My first 0-60 pass on my VBox was yesterday in the heat with debris on the road and tires that aren't even broken in and my launch control isn't even enabled until 1,200 miles (currently have about 650) and I short shifted at 8,000 RPM in first...and I hit 4.2 seconds. With practice and better conditions I should be in the 3.7 - 3.9 sec range stock. Even with the blower launching is simple because there is very little torque increase until about 4,500 RPM. Should be good for mid to low 3 sec 0-60 launches. A better start for us would be in 2nd gear at like 30 mph. I would be down 200 WTQ at that point...and so you would instantly pull 2-3 cars and then it would be a game of catch up...and how long does it take a 600 WHP car to catch a 450 WHP car with the lead?

You can run however you want...but as I discussd above ^^ going from a dead stop is tough to coordinate. You may want to have a third person do an arm-drop Pink's style.

Yeah if anything like Trona there will be caravans from the Hotel(s). If you forget to set your alarm you will be awoken by some f'ing loud cars taking off out of the hotel parking lot
