I plastidipped them black the night before leaving. Better than the dirty factory finish, in my opinion.
Just got back from a long weekend. The event was great, but very hot. Real-feel of 110-115* and very humid both days. I was very careful with the car, turned down the boost and didn't make a ton of passes. Had a few hiccups, but still a solid turnout. Stay tuned for a video soon!
When's the RA video going up?
Sometime in the next month! It won't be anything crazy because all I have is GoPro footage from the event.

Nice time considering the temps. Did you log the iats? I'd be interested to see that.
Yes, most times they started between 110-130*F, then dropped during the pull and eventually rose up a bit at the top end. Never really exceeded 140*F.

When does it start pulling timing? Is it in stages?

My tune ramps up timing to redline. It gradually increased to 9* at 7k RPMs. If it senses knock, it will pull timing until the knock goes away.

Full video is finally up

Did you have the AC on during pulls?

Did you have the AC on during pulls?
It was on the whole weekend. Sometimes I turned it off right before the hand drop, but sometimes I didn't.

The photographer from the Road America event I did in May finally sent me some pictures! Man this was fun...

If anyone wants to see the footage from when my girlfriend took my 135i down the airstrip...

That's cool that she got to experience that with you. Time to boost the e46!

I got a Dragy device to measure my 0-60, 60-130, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile data. I finally put it to the test the other night and thought I'd share the results.
Most people on this platform measure 60-130mph to get a good idea of power/acceleration, so that's what I did. Car was at 27psi with a full tank of gas and a passenger. I'm pleased with the results, but know there's a lot of room for improvement. Gonna try again by myself with 1/8 tank and see if I can improve the shift bog.

I don't know man, looks like you were going downhill... i'd have to say that's not valid. No internet points for you!
Seriously though that's kinda neat. Is there a box that comes with an accelerometer and gps unit that records this or is it from your phone?
