The funny thing is, I haven't seen any m240i tuned or otherwise do better than 112 for trap speed. C&D had 111 for trap speed on a stock A8 m240i. I'm starting to think the piggyback boxes aren't doing much for these cars at the limit.
Mine feels much faster by seat of the pants measurement, but it seems that the torque management cut-in at WOT shifts is much more noticeable, and I'm wondering if that's negating the advantage from the extra boost, at least on the A8.

Sport+ Mode only. Come to a stop in Sport+ press the clutch down and mat the gas. Pins it to 3k RPM, try dumping the clutch out of the hole first, then practice the slipping part of it if you don't like the slight bog of the clutch dropping. I think it's a bit of a placebo using DSC "off" and spinning the tires as it feels faster, but in the Sport+ mode, there's almost no wheelspin until full boost hit and it's still minimal (although I do have an LSD which aids in off-line grip).. Edit: Hopefully works for you on the 228i... |

I'll see if mine can next month when I finally take mine to the strip for an objective test of the mods. Without a real ecu/transmission flash Id be suprised if it was better than high 11s OP dont stress the times, this isn't a car you buy for crazy 1/4 mile times in any configuration, ours might be a bit faster than yours but it's not like these are 10 second cars. |

After my post above, another user on here posted a run with just a chip (Dinan Stage 1) and got 11.9 @ 113 with his xDrive 8A m240i. Sounds like he picked up .5 secs and 4 mph with just a chip over his best stock run at the same track, which is more the results I was looking for.

I've been drag racing for decades and have learned there tracks that are faster than others for no reason, even considering density altitude conditions. I've seen it with my own cars and it's frustrating as hell. My cars were always .3 seconds and 3 mph faster in Houston than Kansas City. Same mods, same 60 foots, and worse conditions in Houston. With that said, the N54, N55, and B58 cars are crazy impressive in terms of power unleashed from simple mods. Interestingly, they all seem to peter out around 400whp on the basic mods (piggyback/flash, DP, intercooler, splash ethanol). To go beyond around 400whp requires a lot more work, usually digging into the turbo(s) and fuel system. The B58 is proving to be the performer of the bunch with the least amount of money spent to achieve impressive results. Currently the N55 is pretty solid as well in terms of cash spent if you want big power for cheap as it's quite easy to change out the turbo for a Pure Stage 2 and get near 500whp and gain some more useable rpm. The B58 will soon be to that point and likely exceeding the N55 in that regard. Swapping turbos on an N54 is hilariously terrible and most big power N54s go single turbo.

You are correct. I picked up a half second and about 4 MPH with just the Elite. I?m very happy with those gains and the easy installation. Maybe Dinan will have a Stage 2 come spring time as I?m done at the track this season. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Dylan, is this for real or are you trolling? LOL
I'm testing this "Launch Control" you speak of after work for sure! Quote:

I thought more people set PBs at Atco than elsewhere like Cecil or Englishtown in the NE?
Some tracks are downhill, and pictures and topography maps show this. I also think some may be slightly shorter. But yeah, I'd say setting a baseline at your home track and comparing to that (with conditions and track prep considered) would be the best. |

Yeah, I am jealous of those that get to run at those tracks, I admit it. I care because I want to make sense out of it all to understand what my cars are capable of and to also inform people that sometimes nutty ET/MPH is not the norm as DA can make a huge impact on ET/MPH. That's why the NHRA has a correction factor table afterall. Drag racing is a bit of a science and most don't understand it, especially those that run on Grudge nights. |
