Ok, figured they were low 300's for power. Kid in town (major D-bag) had his parents buy him one of these and got only a tune and was going around saying he was making over 400 hp and wanted to run every kid with a car. Wish I had the chance to line up with him in my mustang....oh well. Even if he beat me, he's still a rich *****.
All I know is that his car is completely stock with the exception of the tune. I know he would NEVER take it to a track though.....mom and dad probably wouldn't let him anyways. His bro drives a newer porsche turbo. Man I wish I had money!
I knew they woke up pretty good for having a tune. Seems like high 12's isn't that great though with 350-360 rwhp. Are they heavy? My stang was a boat and I'm sure if I had tires I could get a low 13 with only 285 rwhp. Def good looking cars though. Liked them ever since they came out.

To a point. 400whp comes easy, after that it gets VERY difficult. 500whp has been done, but its not an easy task.

^the interesting thing is that there is now a company (ar design) that is now coming out with a single turbo conversion. So far it's putting down 480ish whp on 91 octane with no supporting mods and no meth. Just the conversion. In time there will be some awesome single turbos out there, but fueling will reach a limit and clearance has always been an issue.

he said juice box, I said say what?, he said its a program or something, I think he said jb(number number number) and it added 70 or 75. Is there one that adds 70ish raw wheel power? He said mommy and daddy got it for her. Oh and it was a 335is? I think that's what he said. Or 335si?

They usually add about 70whp on a stock car. The 335is is made to fill the gap between the 335i and the M3, but it does a poor job IMO.
It's only a bit more power than the 335i (15hp i think) along with stiffer suspension and an extra 10K on the price tag. I'd take a lot of cars over that one for 50K.

Should be about M3 fast in a straight line, low-mid 12s at 112-115 or so, i would guess.
That said, i've seen JB N54 (the engine) cars run some very poor times at the track. I saw a 135i on one of the most aggressive maps with bolt-ons burning straight race gas and only trapping about 111. It was 3000DA, but still. Turbo cars were only down about 2mph that night.

With a decent driver, faster than your mach 1.

Well, it sure as hell can be, just thought that it was a relatively stock 335i from the OP so figured it would be different with a tune. Not all juice boxes are the same. There are quite a few from a basic JB+, to a JB3 or JB4. Then you get into other tunes such as flash based like the Cobb. All give decent performance bump, but the best(outa the ones i mentioned) is the JB4 or Cobb ATM.
BTW, good kill on a tuned 335i. They can be nice little sleepers with a couple mods.

If she was shifiting with the paddles then she wasnt playing with a clutch pedal she just has the dual clutch technology in that trans, still considered an automatic, I am actually drawing a blank if the turbos can be unbolted from the manifolds. Last n54 motor i did we left the exhaust attached to the head so we didnt have to run all the plumbing.
