well my mods are in my proflie. I made only 1 goal of mine today an it was to run 95+ in the quarter an i traped 100.00 even LOL now i launched great but spun...badd threw first an second. i had some really bad wheel hop the first few runs... now i can tell thatthe car has ALOT more in it. Now i know more practice will make the biggest difference. Now I wanna know what are the best traction mods to do? an what tires will help me make my goal of 13's? i have 16inch rim not sure how wide but iam usi the stock size tire. Any postive imput is greatly aprecciated(sp?)

throttle control you cant just go blasting through the gears like a mad man LOL. maybe invest in a sticky set of tires and a nice chipped eprom with a 4000 rpm studderbox or something. i would also recommend getting some fuel upgrades you said your running 16.5 psi , i didnt see anything about fuel injectors, intercooler, fuel pump , not even a stock rewired fuel pump, post up the whole timeslip so we can see exactly what happened. if you had gotten a decent 60' that would have put you in the 13's alone. you can pick up a set of decent 15's from the junkard for cheap and buy you either a set of slicks or some drag radials
 
an trust me i was tryin to control throttle... LOL
and i dohave everything to rewire my fuel pump just haent done it cause no matter what the stock maf will kick my arse LOL
 
also next time you go to the track take out your speakers and amp i bet they weigh a ton, i would also take out your back seats and your passenger seat ( easy to do takes about 10 minutes)
 
if your boost is dropping to 12 from 15 you have a problem , do a boost leak test and see what you can find. are you having problems with fuel cut or anything? you said something about your mafs giving you problems?
 
yea i have a boost leak an anything over 16psi it its fuel cut :( iam gettin a supra sidemunt an hard pipes from a freind soon
 
a boost leak will cause fuel cut , fix your boost leak and your car should run alot better, although 100 mph on a nearly stock car isnt bad at all, heres another fwd member from florida http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/members/bmwisthekey-35823.html

take a look at his setup although he only trapped 105 on this run the launch is great and look at the time he ran because of it

dng that was a quick car. an yea i know 100 was alot mor than i had expected an yea i did enough resarch an found out bout the fue cut/bboost leak crap :(
 
o yea i forgot to mention i removed my passengerside mirror aong with those dumb little plates
 
Drop your 60ft down to 1.8 and you will be in the 13's if everything else stays the same.
 
do you really think so? should i get new motor mounts? matby be a set of springs along with struts?
 
The rule of thumb is: For every 1/10th second off your 60ft you will take 2/10th's second off your 1/4 ET.
 
1gb here LOL i cant help t spelling i push the keys an eiher theywork or they dont LOL sorry
