    Any 1/4 mile times on fully cam kitted S52s?

    As above, either M Coupe/Roadtser or E36 with all the naturally aspirated trimmings: Cams/manifold/ECU tuning/etc.

    Do you have any "before" times? How about trap speed as it indicates power better. My M Coupe got a 13.88 with CAI and Shark--pretty good--but traps just 98.25 on that run. Seems Car and Driver will get a 101 mph trap out of car running 13.8-14.0.

    I have those mods, and I have run the 1/4.

    unfortunately, with all my suspension mods and a crappy track (when I lived in Ohio), I can't get a good time.

    My best time stock on street tires was 13.7X@99.

    My best time with cams/bolt-ons was 14.0@103 (running lots of camber). I have a video of me spinning through first, half way through second and chirping in 3rd. Thats terrible traction for a car dynoing ~250rwhp.

    I need to install my IE camber/toe brackets and get that camber out and go back. See if I can rip off a low 13.

    I did a 13.8 a few years ago. The problem with camed cars is that most of us also have susp. mods this is not good for the strip.

    I did 13.8 @ 102 mph. However, this was at half a mile elevation. Corrected to sea level that would be like 13.6 @ 104 mph.

    Oh, I also suck at drag racing. That time was with a 2.3 60', so there's definitely room for improvement.

    You guys should also include your 0-60' times to get an idea if you got a good launch or not, because a friend of mine pulled a 13.9 in a fairly stock M3 3.2.

    Probably better--in terms of do full-monty NA mods make real world power--is trap speed. So, for those who didn't, do you have that number...and befores as well...?
