ESS VT3 725 vs C63 Weistec Stage 2

Read on another forum that M3 is putting down 630 to the wheels. C63 didn't stand a chance...DCT + power-weight ratio = M3 victory!
I'd like to see them run again from a dig...I suspect the C63 torque would be a factor here.

Noticed that too, apparently it is a development car.
Haven't heard of ESS doing any low compression motor builds on the S65 engine besides Drews car. I could be wrong though.
I know he previously had a Gintani S/C kit.
Was on the website and the highest HP kit ESS supplies is the VT2-650 kit.
Maybe the VT3-725 kit is done upon special request?

Josh needs to shed some pounds, he weighs two passengers
nah, j/k
but seriously, to stay close to that M3, he needs to change the roof and trunk into something else, CF maybe?

You're some funny guys...
Yeah, Drew's car is the ESS development car. It's got a built bottom end with 10.5:1 pistons, and 14psi of boost. 644whp on the same dyno my car did 608.
He neglects to mention he's got Toyo R888s in the back, and I had major wheelspin in the first run... So there's that. Not that it would have changed the outcome much.
He manhandled me, but I know a 3rd gear run would have had better results.
The extra passenger and my fat *** didn't help either, lol.
And this is happening, which should help level the playing field:
Yeah, billet round to oval intake adaptors... Can't wait to melt your faces with finished product.

Here is a pic of a bad rod bearing.
I believe this is out of a OEM non modded M3. Not sure though

No doubt passenger is good for at least a car or more.
Atta boy! I know you'll come back with some more firepower! Love the kit Broski, and you know the Silver Dragon is my favorite C63! Always great hanging with you as well.

My car was one of the first, another one is finishing up now on the east coast. Right on but the psi, is in the 12.5 - 13psi range at peak power.
I didn't know I had to mention I was running R888's! Should I mention you're a widebody with 315's? FWIW I did say I was running R888's on M3post!
Well it was vengeance for the last time we ran when we were N/A, you manhandled me in those runs! How many times did I get beat on? We'll do 3rd gear next time as well.

Hey Dodger, I have not taken it to the strip yet. When I was on the stock block with a VT625 kit, 7.5psi, it ran 11.3 @ 129 in roughly 1500' DA I believe, lackluster 1.9 60' though. The same setup went 132MPH at Atco. The clutch was in bad shape from all the 1/4 mile runs I did, so I'll need a linelock before I go again, probably won't make the trip to the track until it's cooler out.
FYI, I've always been a big fan of you and your car, incredible times, very impressive.
