I had people in shock at Great Lakes Drag Way last Thursday night.
My car went to AMS earlier this year to get some upgrades.
Alpha 9 turbos
AMS FMIC
Upgraded trans
Gesi cats with down pipes
AMS carbon fiber intake
93 and MS109 tune
Other supporting cooling mods from previous company that screwed me.
My daughter was filming me run and heard some guys saying “These cars weren’t meant to go fast” and then I ran this.
I brake torque the car around 2700-2800 rpm and let go.
I’ve done this with my old setup and managed a 1.5xx.
AMS also installed Weistec’s trans pan upon my request to aid in cooling. Adds almost 2 more quarts of fluid.

What's the total approximate cost of converting a stock e63S to the OP's car as it is right now?
I'd guess 25 / 30k all in? Retail on their exhaust and air boxes is ~10k. not sure about the Trans work, I believe Tony's car has clutch packs and what not.

When I brake torque the car bogs down. If I wait long enough the transmission loosens up and I can bring the RPMs higher. Typically this is enough to overheat the transmission. Are you able to brake torque to 2800 right away or do you have to wait a few seconds before you can get the RPMs that High.
I have awd, but I think if the front tires lift too much they lose traction and mess up the first 1/3 of the Run.

I won't speak for the OP. When I brake torque, it hesitates a second then will climb rpms. Takes maybe 3 seconds? You can hear the turbos spooling, I do not have a boost reading so I don't know how much boost it builds.

I can hear chiro now: "$3000 for an APR STAGE 2 tune and you can achieve the same result on an RS7"
