Went to vmax today, despite massive tractions issues and a clutch thats not been doing too well last few weeks i managed to do really well. With r888r i think i could of got 214/215

Nice one not been to V Max before but you certainly gave the M5 a good run against some very strong competition.

TheHouseWon · 10-01-2018, 09:59 AM

Excellent. Running 93 or 100 octane?

V8munro · 10-01-2018, 10:00 AM

Ms100 think its 104

TheHouseWon · 10-01-2018, 10:25 AM

Koenigsegg added 30mph to their time with $1.5m above the cost of the M5

V8munro · 10-01-2018, 11:01 AM

Those things are just outrageous. Raced a tuned 720s and managed to beat him. Was very close though

Excellent effort! Curious, what tire pressures do you run, front and rear? With the r888r how would you balance traction with high speed stability with regard to tire pressure?

V8munro · 10-01-2018, 11:05 AM

I actually used vreindstein tyres here, 35psi in front and 32psi in rear. Not alot of experience in this sort of thing but from what i understand lower pressure will offer better grip but generate more heat and friction at speed. I did try a run with mickey thompsons but had to abort at 200 as was just far too unstable

I don't have top speed experience either, but would have thought higher front pressures for less rolling resistance. But, at 200+ does the front end feel a little skittish?

V8munro · 10-01-2018, 11:19 AM

No not really mate it’s surprisingly stable, dont get me wrong its not like 70mph but your not really having to correct the car

Washabi · 10-03-2018, 02:27 PM

Would love to see some in-car footage of this!

m5 guy · 10-03-2018, 04:01 PM

That's awesome, congrats!

Impressive numbers will have to run mine one day....what backend ECU tune do you run and do you also have the pure turbo upgrade?

V8munro · 10-03-2018, 05:18 PM

Evolve bef and yes stage 2 pures

whats your opinion of the stage 2 pures...worth the investment vs stage 1?

you recommend the Evolve BEF?

regardless your run proves it

V8munro · 10-03-2018, 05:27 PM

I dont really know about stage 1 as not had them but i rate the stage 2s, massive jump in power from stock turbos and way they hold boost is ridiculous.

V8munro · 10-03-2018, 05:28 PM

Evolve have been great also, i started off with a normal map from them and then progressed from there. Very honest and always found the maps are reliable and exactly what they say. From what i see they put a ton of r&d into the f10 platform

Thanks Tommy and amazing effort from you dialling your set up in. Congrats on the records and proud to be involved in this build in more ways than 1.
