1st Kill with new mods. GT goes down. Well, got my first kill since the blower install today. Pretty pathetic prey (new mustang gt w/ exhaust of some kind) but entertaining anyway. Minding my own business in the right highway lane cruising at 75mph. The GT enters from an onramp, then proceeds to floor it to get next to me. Paces me for a second or two, then guns it. He slowed back down beside me again and started looking at me, throttling a bit. Open road, no place for cops to hide ahead, so I give him an aknowledging wave of the hand to proceed. Put in in 3rd, turned of traction control, hit it after him, walked away BAD. I'm not making this up, it literally had to be double digit lengths by the time I shut down at ***mph.
Loving the ProCharger!

(90-140mph) So I had to even the playing field. Of course now that I have enough, I'll probably run into a whipple or kenne bell cobra tommorow and have to start saving all over again for forged bottom end, trannsmission, etc. to run more boost.

I actually followed your whole install thread that Stephen did. your car is an beast now for sure. Becareful though, boost is addicting and I feel that a forged bottom-end is in your futur.

Before more boost, I really need to upgrade the gears though.

The guy purged some nitrous as well, but it was 1st night with the blower and I didn't want to end up in a telephone pole.

Depends what year M3's.
ALL of them take considerable and I mean considerable upgrades to make it competitive with a vette. They are kinda porky.
speaking out of my *** at the moment:
e36, maybe ~200whp stock?
e46, maybe ~270whp stock?
and nitrous on a E46? THAT sounds like russian roulette with 5 bullets loaded!
Your putting down what, 500whp? You should be scared only if that m3 was putting over 600whp. Even then... race him a couple of runs and wait for something to blow out the bottom of his block. Sorry, couldn't help that comment... seen a few E46M's blow motors road racing.

A friend of mine ran 10's with that same set up in a 6 speed car. He was 505rwhp. He also did a 550rwhp tune on the car, but I don't think he raced it with that tune in it.
