I hope not. I'd like to hope M50NVers can get respectable times without dogging the piss out of the drivetrain.

I lift to shit. I have done flat footed shifting but didn't net any difference, so why ruin the tranny.
The previous page I have two of my times with specs.Comment

well in an effort to be lazy i ended up scrolling through more pages than i wanted to haha. I'll just have to wait for next year to run my car. I'll be damn happy if i can break 14s, i've never driving on a drag strip before. here's my setup
NV M50
dinan chip
k&n cone intake with heatshield
uuc pulleys
fan clutch delete
obd2 manifolds
obd2 down pipes
single 2.5in exhaust to a magnaflow cat to a 18in long mangaflow muffler
and royal purple oil for that extra hp increase haha
g260 and 3.73lsdComment

You trapped over 100mph.
My best run was 95mph. With slicks and a 3.73 LSD. Dumping the clutch at 3k+ and zero wheelspin. Vanos m50, g260. Dinan chip, CAI, headers, 2.5" single w/ high flow cat/muffler.
My buddy's chipped, AA intake/exhaust 97 M3 traps 97mph.
I'm not saying you are lieing or anything, but something is up with that motor. It is not a typical 170-180whp m50. MPH is a function of power/weight, with little to do with driver ability (unless you really suck). There's no reason, with longer gearing and shitty tires, and a lack of vanos, that you would be trapping 5mph faster then me.Comment

Yea, it was junk lol. Smoked bad on decel smoked on accel...now that i think about it i never really didn't smoke! I really wanted to dyno it but never had to money to do it. I wanted the kid that bought it to dyno it but he dissapered off the face of the earth i think.Comment

You said power:weight. maybe his was significantly lighter? :dunno:You trapped over 100mph.

Can't wait to do the same. But baby steps, gotta get this bitch running/rolling on her own power first!

Naw... we already went over this. I had the tar in the trunk removed and the foam under the carpet. It was just a rediculously fun car... kinda wish I didn't sell it.
I just got mine rolling...too bad it is still under my power. My motor is sitting at my house and my car is sitting at my parents garage....Comment
