Drag Strip with a few buds

[ethree]

Mods are turner chip, 3.73 lsd, free flow exhaust. As for whats been removed? sunroof, carpet, glove box, center console, hatshelf, rear seat, front and rear bumpers, all sound proofing, grills, high beams, etc. etc. i got it on the scale at the track and it was 2450 with me in it, im pushing 250 for a total of 2200 lbs. some good tires should bring me to about 15.0 (maybe) ?

What did you do with your sunroof? Just pull it, pull the motor and associated items, rivet on a sheet of aluminum and some rtv? I'm assuming a/c and power steering are gone? Do you still have heat and blower motor?

Has anyone on this site gone on a good step by step "diet" recording what all this shit weighs?

[FLUTE007]

True on the sunroof, and correct on the the a/c and p/s, yes to the heat and blower motor, i didnt weigh anything.

Do you have any pics of your work on the sunroof?

[FLUTE007]

no pics, all you have to do is take the panle out and motor and put in a piece of aluminum where the hole is, mine is an old ugly penzoil sign, i painted the car after so you can only see the print from the interior...

ditto on the reaction time not being counted.. the 60ft time shows a much better launch than Redstar.. i think the rule is --every .1 drop on 60ft time, the 1/4 time drops .2

13.8 is fine by me ..

[Fidhle007]

I like that time slip because we both have '90 325is that started in basically the same trim but redstar's is still stock so I can see where I've come from. I don't think 13.8 is at all bad for a stock M motor, but I'm expecting to lose a bit of time next time I go due to the longer diff I installed this weekend.

I did a lot of DR years ago and to improve R/T in a street car, leave when the last yellow goes out. Don't wait on the red. If you do this you should be under .6 R/T. just my $.02.

[Fidhle007]

And why is reaction time such a big deal to everyone? I'm not racing for slips, I'm taking my time and trying to get the best launch I can for a good 1/4 mile time.

Not really hung up on R/T just a little info for your next outing. Its also fun just to see how close you can get with out redlighing. Its always fun to make runs down the strip. When I finish my m50 swap, a friend of mine and I are going to hit the track to see what they will do.
