I have never seen any posted.

MCS 0-60 is low 6 sec JCW is listed a 5.9 Extrapolating those puts the car in the 14 sec range (i'd guess).

Oops check that

Reviving this old thread! Just ran a 13.8@101mph in 5600 ft of DA at SRCA Drag Strip in Great Bend, KS. Car is 224 on the time slip. Left lane was a stock Trans Am WS6 for reference. It treed me but I reeled them in on the big end. Should be a solid 13.1 or lower at sea level in Houston, TX. Working with iAutoworks to get some more speed out of it in the coming months. More to come!

Great run! Nice to see what mods will get the car under 14. Keep us updated with future mods and runs. Is your goal to get under 13?

Also, couple questions: Did you end up taking the driverside headlight out? Map 2 on the JB4? Traction control on/off and how's controlling wheel spin in 1/2? This info is great as I start to mod my recently purchased 2015 F55 S!

Thanks! This car has seen it's last track day, sadly. That being said, I purchased a 2015 F56 MCS and have a 3 phase build plan. End goal with the car is set the fastest F56 1/4 mile time on the B46 platform. Some folks are K-swapping theirs but i want to keep it on the BMW kit.

I did leave the headlights in but thought about ducting the drivers side straight to the CAI. I was desperate to get the turbo to spool at a mile of elevation so I ended up putting a 35 dry shot of nitrous just before the MAF. This helped tremendously by pulling a little timing out and chilling those IAT's to something useful. It's also worth stating that the track temp was over 170F during that run. This was done on MAP 6 in the JB4 as we had to fatten up the fuel table to keep from trashing a cylinder under boost with the nitrous.. That being said, I am ditching the JB4 MAPs and will use it only for a safe guard/code reader and maybe WMI controller at the intake pipe. I am working with Tony at iAutoworks and will be doing a custom ByteTronik tune on the ECU. I did have the DSC off during the run and was on Federal 595 RS-RR's on the front with a full burrnout in the box to heat them up. Torque steer was noticeable but not unmanageable. Even then it wanted to lose traction under boost at WOT in first but second and third planted just fine. Also, I rolled into the launch because I've already broken three axles in this car and that is not a cheap habit to have. Narrowed the problem down to the diff bearings and swapped the trans the day before I left for the event but still didn't want to chance it

Good luck on the build! I will be posting progress on insta (@mini_monster_project) and some tube videos.
