TCD S1 e36 Turbo testing. Dyno, time slips, drag video up!

We have about 350 miles on testing on the kit complete. Two trips to the dyno and one to the dragstip. Car is running near perfectly. The 2.5L is untouched. Running just under 11psi on pump gas with 10.5 CR.
We made a trrip to the dragstrip last night but there were only timing the 1/8 mile because the end of the track was wet from flooding. This was my first time to the track with this chassis, engine, turbo, etc. Car is full weight plus stereo. Only item removed was the spare tire.
Bolted on the 8" slicks and made a few runs. First time out I had my personal best 60 foot time and the 2nd time it went even quicker.
This 1/8 mile time equates to a 12.3 @ 114+. My red 535is was a little slower in the 1/8 when it went 12.37 @ 114.87.

What are you going to do to improve the time? I saw M3 cams. More tuning? More boost?

M3 cams are going in prior to 5erFest. There is still some power left in the timing curve. Those two should net 40rwhp.
After 5erFest it'll get a MLS and more boost.

Congrats Todd. If this takes off much more, you may run out of space...

Hell yes! Bust out those systems cheaper and better than AA and others and you got yourself a serious market standing.

Looks great. Even the 1/8 mile seems to take forever watching the video. Have you tried using the hand brake to load the drive train before the launch? It is a strain on the clutch but seems to work well.

I ran the car thorugh most of 4th gear for fun.
You try the hand brake thingy when you go to the track and report back.

Will do. Looks like rain on Wednesday though. If so, hopefully Friday then.
