Video: 335i JB4 vs BPU 300ZX TT

shatter2 · 06-18-2014, 12:50 PM

This was my first trip to the drag strip (Texas Motor Speedway) last week with my E90 335i automatic. I just got done installing the JB4 and DCI a couple weeks ago and have been running 30% E85 with it on Map 5.

The video shows me against 2 different 300Z's in my class (Sportsman). Both had all the basic bolt-ons and were running increased boost. Not sure what else they had. I roasted my mostly bald tires through 1st and most of 2nd and then 3rd gear just pulled on them like nothing.

As a former owner of 3 Supras, I say not bad for mostly stock

Nice!!! What kind of boost does it make with the 30% E85?? Good pull on the 300's!

I have no idea lol. I'm still very new to the JB4 and couldn't get the data logging to work.

Your launch is very good!

Tell them Z owners to close their windows to improve aerodynamics

Nice, what were your times?

Unfortunately, they simulate street racing with the flashlight start and no times so I didn't get an ET. I will have to go to a different track later in the summer to get some times.

Thanks! I was brake boosting a little bit. Trying to learn how to drag an automatic. Never done it before.
