Outcome? E46 M3 on bottle vs my FD.
Can anybody predict the outcome of this race?
E46 M3 w/ 150 shot , 4.3 gear with bolt-ons. Dynoed around 415 rwhp 3200 lbs
My 94 FD, full bolt-ons 13.5 psi around 350rwhp stock seq. twins
I think he will walk me about 1-2 cars from a 60ish roll...
But we shall see.
I think he traps around 115mph in the 1/4, and a full bolt-ons 350 rwhp fd should trap around 116 ish..

Guys, E 46 M3 dynoed around 280 ish rwhp stock, and they weight around 3450 lbs. This guy has all bolt-ons and on 150 shots which put the car around 415 rwhp and with lots of weight reduction, his car is around 3200 lbs.
I trap around 110 mph in the 1/4 a while back when my car only dyned around 270 ish with just cat back, dp and intake. So my trap shoud be aroudn 116 ish with my current setup.

I guess it would be a good race, just don't start from 60mph, that's just silly. Go from 40mph, FD's are known for a very good second gear, and most of my "str33t r4c3r" friends say that a 60mph roll is pretty high to be starting from.

From a 60ish roll is the sweet spot for third gear. It might be close, but you'll win.
Also, reejevx7 is wrong, you would run about 116 or higher - he probably did not see that you have a large-streetport.
And the problem with running on the bottle is that it is inconsistent. RWHP will vary by 10-30hp depending on bottle temp/press.
Go race him,
the -7- can't lose!

I knew a guy that had an M3 Competition Model with all the bolt-ons, and it was pretty quick. Add a 150 shot of nitrous, an that could get pretty interesting.
I raced him with bald tires, and he jumped the gun, so it wasn't much of a race at all. Anyway, I'm interested to hear the outcome.

I agree. I raced a full bolt-ons E46 M3 at the drag strip couple years back, I would always win by a hair. He would trap around 107-108, and I would trap around 109-110. All I had was intake, dp, and cat-back around 270ish rwhp.

I lost with him on the bottle, 3 times. His M3 is no where near stock. He has headers, full exhaust, chips, 4.1 gear, and only weights 3160 he claims. He dynoed around 310 rwhp all motor and 420 ish with 150 shots. It was a very very nice car, but I would put 50 shots in that motor, but was just me. I rapped him when he was off the bottle, those Nitrous does wonders I tell ya...
