Tranny still worked fine after though aslong as he kept n2o off
The N54 is a potent platform; that stated, wait till you receive your new pulley kit? Enjoy that torque buddy.

Race has been postponed due to 335 having flat tire. I think he's scared.

Convenient. Haha. Needs a few more days to check over everything on the car I'm guessing. Also switched out the runflat's I assume.

Absolutely. Sean doesn't have a clue. The coupe ran a .028 jet and trapped 133 on the Vbox. The sedan requires a .046 jet to run 130. It ran a 11.11 at 129.4 the other week at Famoso to back up my vbox claims. Best the sedan has run is 7.2 in the 60-130. Sean is a bench racer. Only time he came out to race, me and a M3 stomped him really good. (See my youtube video 335i vs SL600. Every time I beat him he made excuses. And the time when im not really trying he says we are even! Look at the video and watch his headlights disappear as soon as he finishes honking it off. Furthermore even though I offered him..he won't let me Vbox his car. And he won't even run me again till he gets his 1000hp upgrade special. This against a 335i with a total if about $1200 in engine upgrades! If you notice...he will bench race..but never comes to the track. Sean..hope you make it to Famoso next month so we can all witness what your car can do.

To the OP..I was in the Bay Area yesterday. We should have hooked up in Sac. I ran 11.5 on a mediocre 1.85 60' time, with no nitrous on my DD Nittos..and 91OCT/meth.

take out your air filters when you run him and if you dont already have a bigger TB now is a good time to get one

I have an oem 80mm that ill sell for 250 shipped and if you need a cable I have a brand new one in sealed plastic from the dealer to go with it.

Thanks for the offer boss! I got an 82mm from Forrest Gump 9 (David). I havnt installed it because I would need a retune. I am running rich right now. So would installing the TB without a tune be safe?

Sorry man! My opponent really thinks he can beat me. Trust me the wait will be worth it. I'm thinking 40-120 pulls and some dig runs.

Jeezuss here we go again Warren, ya IDK much about Nitrous that's why I dug up your fellow 335i forum members posts who called you out for completely lying about the ACTUAL amount of nitrous you use. They cleared it up EVEN your OWN TUNER Terry Burger showed you were OBVIOUSLY USING 150-160 HP SHOT, NOT YOUR 60 HP I don't respect nitrous 1 bit, ANYONE can use it to break records w/MINIMAL extra mods needed besides nitrous/good tune/fuel etc... Big deal! You also cherry picked the videos that show you clearly beating me when you got the jump (remember how your excuse was you couldn't hear my little horn lol?) vs majority of runs that we did 40-140 you couldn't pull an inch UNTIL 100+ mph then & ONLY then would you start to pull @ MOST 3-4 lengths then hold there w/ZERO increase in lead to 140+mph..

You even pulled on Drews SuperCharged M3/ w/meth etc.. About 2 lengths on various races, I ran the same vs Drew, zero pull on my SL until 100+mph..(Drews M3 impressed me far, far, more vs your lame low-budget 335i $1200 worth of mods, large nitrous shot.. Remember your tranny? Why did it blow up again? Hmmm much more than your proclaimed 13 psi & iddybiddy 60 hp shot goin thru that Trans..)

Bragging, you & Drew both stomped me WTF?? I was the 1 who drove heatsoaked to hell 1 hr+ to meet you in your backyard where all you had to do was stuff your piehole w/INN-OUT burgers while waiting in parking lot) I was on street tires & heavy st wheels/ 295/30 19"s rears weighed 65 lbs ea on 91 octane tune, vs you ON FULL DRAG SETUP lightweight 17"s on Hoosiers running ms109 meth/nos/tuned + UNDECLARED 160+ Shot

What's your accomplishment?? Ohh You love lying to everybody about your actual amount of Nitrous & only $1200 worth of mods blahblah... You realize a MUCH heavier S600 ecu/tcu ONLY mods + comparable nitrous shot UTTERLY DESTROYS YOUR DOUCH MOBILE Best of 11.11 E/T to S600's Record breaking 10.50 that stood for years, again means nothing to me because when your bottles empty your 335's NOTHING special Period!

I'm having custom spacers made (after widebody my Drag setup wont fit) when they're finished I'll have Jeremy retune for 109, then go to your Home track @ Sacramento & see once & for all what's what? Vs your undisclosed Nitrous etc missing interior mods
