I run low 8's. I'd imagine those would be near 14 second passes.

With a 9.1 in the 1/8 mile, I'd suspect that all those kills you have in your sig were from a roll. Because a stock BMW M6 would run a low 8 in the 1/8 mile stock, and alot of those other cars you beat would run mid to high 8's in the 1/8 mile. Traction isnt our friend, and my best time with my tuned SS/TC in the 1/8 mile is also 9.1 with a best 60' time of 2.3, so there is work to be done.

Are you on stock tires? With my intake and Trifecta tune I cant get into the 8's, but I've only had like 4 runs down the strip, and only on 2 of them was the track somewhat prepped. I need to get to another track that is actually prepped. Nice times you have with the mods you have done.

that should make a 14 flat or possibly touching high 13's...not very good for a tuned TC, work on your launch!

Yeah I'm sure making 20 passes helps out a lot over just 4. And of those 4, just 2 of them I was actually trying somewhat. I lowered front tire pressure to 20, and kept the back around 30, and I launched at like 1200 rpms or so. Next time I'm gonna launch around 2000-2500 and up the pressure in rear.

I run 40psi in the rear at the track and around 26-28 in the front. I also used that football trick, that helps alot.
