Hi all....went down to Atco in Nj last night and ran consistent 12.4s with one 12.1 and a 12.014 @ 117.89 1.85 60ft.
car is hms stage 2 tuned with the k&n filter mod. On STOCK general tires..... Traction is such a *****. Gonna be picking up a set of M/T streets this week.

I got a question though.....after my last oil change ive only driven the car 2600 miles so far but I noticed that ever since ive done the charcoal removal and K&N install my car has been running alot lower in oil temp. avg. around 195-199 degrees....where before I was always around 205-210....could that be from the filters?? its kinda weird but wanted to see if anyone has experienced this or heard of this before. I only drive the car on weekends unless theres a track night I can go too. thanks

How were the 60 foot times. I suspect you were spinning like crazy.

Johnny912

mostly 2.0s...and yea spun first alot....hooked up nice in second gear though. The last run that I ran the 12.0 was a nice 1.85...longer burn out and launched at 1300rpms

Great news about the oil temps dropping.

What oil are you using? Mine is steady at 102c (215F) all the time. C63/ML63/E63

Good times. I live in NJ as well. PM me if you have any interest in meeting for a drive. Could possible expand to include others as well. I am so flipping ready for the Spring driving season!!

Hm...I didn't know HMS had tunes for our cars. Interesting.

As for the oil temp drop I wouldn't think it was due to the air intakes. I think the oil and oil coolers themselves may have an impact.

I think it may be your engine getting acclimated to the oil. I tend to get cooler oil temps and better fuel economy about 1-2K miles into an oil change.

I would be in for a drive as well as possibly heading to a track afterwards.

I am totally down for a track night.....either E-town or Atco which ever is good for you guys.

Nice times for what mods you have.
With better tires you should trap higher and lower your et.
If you get mickety tompsons you will be into 1.7x 60 foot, 1.7 60 foot should get you into the 11's.

Why don't you guys try to make it for the April 5th event at Pocono raceway.

great time mate
last week best time i could run was 12.003 at 117 1.8 60ft with headers
You done really well

these cars are a pain to launch
my best run was in sport with normal take off no stall

Johnny912

I read that the M/T s make the car bog. but I got launching down pretty good so maybe I won't have any problems. Would the 265/40/18s work for the oem rim?

that Pocono event....is that by Slipstream racing by chance?

mthis

I thought that to but the 60 foot times u can't beat with mt on stock 18's. They will fit perfect .

Yes the slipstream event.

Johnny912

yea I got invited to that event....I met the gentleman with the plasti dipped supercharged E92 m3 at atco a month ago. I for got his name tho unfortunately. Im definitely gonna try and go. probably to spectator tho.... I got some modding to do before I step foot in the ring with the big boys....oh and brakes, suspension and tires lol

mthis

That's lost marine Steve. I met him thru racing years ag at atco.
Take your car on the track man its about having fun not winning or losing . Just open the car up and hang out with bunch guys and bs.
