Heading to the drag strip

TBolts10 · 09-06-2011, 02:25 PM

Heading to the strip for the first time on thursday and have some questions. I have an 07 335i with dci intakes and JB+. Should I run some race gas in it? if so what grade and how much? From reading on here it sounds like brake boosting to about 2k and then getting on it is the best way to launch, is this correct? Also, what are the chances of hitting 12's with this setup? thanks for the help guys!

Any tips?

Id just run 93 in this case. Unless you have it turned to 100%, in that case 100 octane mix may help. DCI doesn't really help unless you start boosting 15 psi+. However, you may be able to hit 13.1 if you can hook up. Drop psi to 20 in rear. Let us know what you ran!

Well I tried to go last night but it rained, and the same goes for last week. Hopefully I will make it next saturday and it won't rain. I just got catless downpipes installed so that should help. I'm gonna run the jb+ at 100% too.

Cool, I'm going tonight if rain holds off. Orlando Speed world. I have JB4 and DCI. RFT.... I'm going to run 100oct, map 2 and 7. Last time I did 1.9 60 ft, hopefully I can replicate tonight

How's that track? I might try to make it there tonight. I'm in tampa so I guess it can't be much further than bradenton.
