One thing you gotta remember, and I say this with the utmost respect for Drew, is he's really good at not letting on what he has going on until he absolutely has to. For example, he told me he was at 600whp on Friday when we were setting up... Had I known he was at 644, I would probably have made up some lame excuse about changing my tampon and needing to buy feminine wipes instead or racing, or something.
He's a master gamer.
And you will get taken.

, To be clear Broski, my previous dyno 4 months ago was actually 600whp SAE at 10-11psi and 615WHP STD. The car then went back to ESS for more fuel and a new clutch, well the clutch issue cost me several months and my tranny failed as they were trying to fix it! I did not redyno until after we did these runs, which was later that day, same place you went, so the 644whp at 12.5-13psi I did not know at the time of the runs!

LOL, I think that's a compliment! Others might take that a different way. , To be clear Broski, my previous dyno 4 months ago was actually 600whp SAE at 10-11psi and 615WHP STD.

I am impressed with your ability to leave out that which isn't necessary to not only beat your opponent, but leave them scratching their head while it's happening. You should have heard Jared's and my conversation after each run, lol. Not a single word that would clear the IB filters.

Hey Josh, we should meet up some time and do some pulls. I would love to see how my NA Stage 2 car does against yours. And I bet lots of other members would be interested too.
Lemme know.

Yes, it was a compliment, and I do know you didn't get your final numbers until after we ran. But c'mon, you knew it was going to be higher than what you told me... More boost and more fuel, yet the same power?

Haha, and I even got to wield one of those knives! That car has become a total badass Frankenstein. Correct me if I'm wrong, but at this point nothing drivetrain related (in front of the driveshaft) is original!

The only thing that was vastly redone, to a custom extent, was the fuel system. The new transmission is also now paired with a new flywheel which is lighter than the original stock one, the original had a large counter weight, which BMW later realized was not needed. The new transmission, only 6K on it, was such a steal $ wise and is smoother than the original one, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Lmao, yes she has been under the knife due to some unfortunate past events, but not a Frankenstein really, much more simple than other built motor setups and this build was by choice not necessity, when they took the motor apart it looked great. The New Transmission is completely stock, Engine is still the stock block size, 4L, with drop in Low Compression pistons made by the same company that makes the stock pistons along with Carillo rods and BMW motorsport bearings to handle the power.

Buuuuuut, so long as we're talking... Frankenstein was a creature (badass, super human) assembled from various organs (parts) from other humans (same species, all M3 parts), and brought to life by a mad scientist (ESS). How is that not the perfect definition of your car??
Add in a supercharger, custom fuel system, rims, etc... How can you even debate that!? LOL.
