Pullied C32 vs. Tuned 335 (video)

Okay so met up with a buddy in Mexico.

He is not too experienced at racing and has a tuned 335. I had to give him a few tips about traction-off and downshifting and blah blah... The races turned out pretty close, the third run I was doing back to back and the C32 lost some performance to overheating. I am not sure how the 335 does in the cooling department.

Anyway gave him a few hits to even out the score and his car did pretty good.

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj0T6HAXkeY

nice vid. i'm surprised you are running the 185 with no tune. it isn't safe to run without a tune and you are missing a TON of power.

also, didnt you have something wrong with one of your primary cats? or was that someone else?

No that was me, I had a little problem with the cats a while ago and had them replaced with highflow magnaflow and the problem was solved. Also Jerry reflash my ECU a few weeks ago.

From personal experience it's safe to run the car pullied and without a tune. The pulley is coming off next week and then the car is going to be listed for sale.

Reflashed to what? The reflash resulted into what? More juice?
So, you're going to be done with the C32? GL

He reflashed it to stock. If you read my thread where I was having problems with the car starting... well one of the suspicions was that my ECU got fried, so I sent it to Jerry to get checked and asked him to reflash it back to stock.

I am not done with the C32, the memories will be with me forever. Love the car just can't afford to maintain it.

Great runs, looks like whichever car got the jump, took the lead

I love the C32.... I used to have one and it was just a blast owning one.

... are always a good time.
I'm surprised that Mexico looks so nice. I always thought the infrastructure was more depressed. Maybe I can get a job down there doing landscaping. Nice vid...!

335i

Nice runs. The 335i with bolt ons is no slouch. I was at E-town last month and saw three 335's and a 135 all with various states of tune. One had pretty much all the available bolt on mods and was trapping 12.25's @ 115 mph pretty much every run. Same night a stock M3 E92 ran 13.00 @ 110 mph. My C32 with C3P pulley and intake and nothing else ran 13.20 @ 105 mph. Need more poopy, lol

C32
With a tune, I am pretty sure the 335i cannot blow you. They take off fast, but from rolling, they are not as quick as most people think.

Numerous rounds with an AA 335i (ECU Map 7, down pipe, X-pipe, SS muffler, intercooler, Forge DV, twin oil cooler, Gruppe M Carbon box, Okada ignition upgrade, light weight hood), we are just head to head.

I am now head to head with C63s, PP2 C63s, I lose.

I ran my buds well modded bolton 135i with meth kit pushing 18psi. Without meth max is 15psi. From a roll it was tight vs my stock C63. Back to back runs he started to fade.

I believe it was a Jb+ as the video sad Juicebox +45hp. A jb3 on the lowly map 3 gives slightly more than 45whp...

Forget about the bog? 17psi? I love how you leave out the details. We need to run again soon. How about this Sunday? Bring a camera this time.

I was one of the tune/intake 335i's running that night. Is your car red? If it is, then we were chatting for a little while
