The Good: Long story short RBs are pretty beastly I am trapping 6-8 mph faster than I use to at the track. Comparing Apples to Apples my buddy in his JB4 FBO back end flash car was trapping 116-117 best a 118 at 11.8. A FBO 135 Jake Cobb Pro Tuned car was only doing 112-114 with his best being a 12.1 at 115.
So some perspective on the night and an Apples to Apples comparison before I get the ones chiming in I trap 123 on stockers. I doubt that will be done where I run at and this is how the BMW's run here including myself and others. My time slips from last night vs my Last run with my stockers
The Bad: I could not launch hard in 2nd due to torque shutting down power then allowing it to shift into 3rd then I would be out like a rocket ship. And yes I have an Alpina Flash Wedge suggested the 2011 Alpina Flash so who knows.
Its still a work in progress to figure out how to get all this power to work together while doing a 1/4 mile run. The car is super fast in rolls and great after 2nd has shifted during launches.
I will need to play with limiting boost in 2nd for optimal launches without hitting a torque shut down. If I can do that this car is easily 11.1-11.3 car its just a beast but she has to be harnessed. I have GO Pro vids but I need to edit them down so they do not take hours to load on youtube. In the race against my buddies 335 you cans see how 2nd gear falls flat then it shifts catches boost in 3rd and I am out.
The UGLY: Another buddy in his E92 stick on his very first pass he tried to launch and broke an axle, UGLY.
Anyone have pointers for loading GoPro vids to Youtube?
