You posted you were leaving almost from idle. You can launch ok with the stock stall. From a roll in in tough.Better yet start from a dig ....

I'll probably pull on him through 2nd and even up at 3rd then when I go into toyota camry territory he'll leave me. I'll let you guys know

This is not a good race for you from a roll. Definitely do a dig run. Turbo m3 lighter, similar power, and im sure more aerodynamic is going to be a tough run if you're a casual cam build. If you were a high stall 3.91 gear aggressive cam much better odds

[amerimuscle]

That's what I'm thinking too.... maybe we'll do both

Check my Instagram in my sig. I ran an M4 with intake (auto) from a 50 roll. I was cammed (ls3) FBO. If i didnt get the jump he edged me out ever so slightly. I also ran an M4 with a tune and manual transmission. He got me by a car. Those things are pretty fast.

[amerimuscle]

So without a tune were pretty even?

Its going to be tough. If he can shift, he will get you. I was at 470HP when i ran the 2 M4s

[Gunmetal Speedster]

I'd have to say from a dig is your only option. Has this happened yet?

I concur with the above statement.

FBO, no cam, 1LE dudes are trapping 120+.

Sledge has been up against one. Sledge is still a young pup, he has a teeny tiny cam, FBO(well almost, my definition of FBO differs ), and we took him @ a jogging pace, decisive win, 2nd, 3rd, stopped right at 3rd 6500rpm.

All things being fair, he did have his wife/gf/sister or whatevever in his passenger seat. Sledge had just me inside : )

Looks like this will be a divers race for the OP. IMHO, your trap speed is too low, so it's definitely going to have to be a standing start, make full potential of the L99's auto attributes ; ).

I don't know who tuned your car, and therefore I don't know if you have two tables or just one for octane....If you don't know, i would do the fuse or battery pull after filling up with some fresh good fuel, just for good measure.

better keep in mind the beemers have a crazy good launch control system, if you race from a dig. but good luck id love to watch that race.

Any m car I've driven has been very difficult to launch. The m6's I've driven have launch control that's actually more of a burnout, the m5's are good but it only works maybe once out of every ten times you try. Plus it takes forever to set it up

Forget about roll racing, line up at the tree quick before he can spool the turbo !!
