Got my car back with Stage 2 installed

[wrsbmw]

Apparently I only had Stage 1 before but now I have a new DinanTronics module programmed to Stage 2.

Ran some quarters and the car is much faster.

I got

11.9@126.46 Trap with only a 2.1s 60ft and a terminal velocity of 127.5
This one was mash and go with MDM and sport plus gas. This is the fastest trap and terminal speed yet.

11.72@125.6 trap with a 2.05s 60ft and a terminal velocity of 126.6

This one is invalidated because of a little more than 1% slope but I did a better job modulating the throttle up front and it resulted in a better ET I think.

I still am not sure what was fixed while my car was in the shop after the first fuel pump was replaced and it subsequently died in the middle of Lamar, although it got a low pressure fuel sensor replaced along with the DinanTronics module in that time. Now all seems well and the car is obviously faster compared with previous Vbox data.

Whereabouts in Austin are you making those runs? Hard to find a flat spot! Glad to hear your car is back and hopefully ok.

I think I saw your car at Toys-R-Us Lamar/360 a couple of weeks ago. Doubt there are many Amzonite Sliver M5's around. Cool color.

I go out off of 696 near the Alcoa plant for some. There are a lot of county roads out there with nothing on them, this one is right next to the plant. This is out past Elgin off of 290. Go toward Houston and turn left on 696. Drive around out there and pick one that suits you.

Yeah, just checked with my wife, she was out getting a new car seat for the grandson at Toys R Us. That was right before it went into the ordeal with the fuel pumps and whatever else.......

Hooray! We are glad you are back on the road. Let's hope your car is fixed for good this time. I know your Porsche is your new love but the M5 needs some love as well. Don't forget about her. =)

Hey I am glad and so is my wife, she likes driving it too! It definitely is faster but more powerful on the low end so I definitely need some work with my throttle modulation. I did OK several times though but the best 60 foot I could get was 2.05s. I got 1.9s during the summer. Now that everything is in place, I am planning to take it over to my best spot by my East Texas properties and run it on a perfectly flat mile I have over there. I may also take it back out to West Texas soon.

I am dropping the Porsche off at ATX Motorsports tomorrow to get a IPD Plenum, FVD Brombacher headers and the FVD piggy back tune installed. I already have the FVD "sound exhaust" with the high flow cats. So I will be driving only the M5 for a few days now until that work is done. Does it look faster now?

Only after it beats mine. Lol

you have a fast car sir... I like how you worded your og post:

[wrsbmw]

Looks like I also had a 8.2s 60-130 which is also the best yet.

My wife drove the car last night and said it's the smoothest it has been yet, she likes the tune.

Glad to see she is back on the road.
