Keep in mind the 8,000 RPM in the M3 gives it a very big advantage. PLUS it's geared for 333 HP and 276 TQ. Keeping (lower) gears that long give you a big advantage.
Nice car.
Nice car.
We had a few good runs and the rest I focked up (late starts and starting in the wrong gear). Drew's car is a little quicker than mine (about 20-25 more HP to the wheel and better gearing) especially starting from 2nd gear (we did pulls at 40mph) as I can only hit .7 bars of boost in 2nd, but once I hit 3rd I go up to 1.2 bars. It's essentially a driver's race and Drew is a better racer than I am at this point.

Oh what I wouldn't give to have a 8k+ redline like a GT3 engine...

Drew,
I just got my car and STGI is nice...smooth! Did you upgrade your clutch and how much HP are you puttin' down with the STGII? I am going to get my car dynoed very soon so want to see how our cars compare....perhaps my car wil adjust itself as it gets used to the "east coast" air??? Gotta hit Nik up today.

Rep Power: 71 I would guess that it's faster than a stage 3 996TT.

Believe it or not I'm still on the stock clutch, lol. I dynoed 430WHP with the stock headers, exhaust and roughly 7.3 psi. I'm hitting around 7.8 psi now with headers, euro cats, still on stock exhaust, it should be around 450ish not sure yet. Not sure either, if the WI gives me power, as it's not tuned for it, but rather it keeps it consistant.
