I finally ran a 10 second ET. I have been close many times but no luck. Yesterday traction was only OK but it was enough to get my goal.

Air temp was around 55 degrees, the problem was they did not spray the track and there were too many street cars on street tires.

Minor changes, I added a Monoblade throttle body, retuned for E78 and changed my valve springs since it was floating after 6000 RPM. The retune and valve spring change allowed me to make good power to 6500 RPM with peak RWP of 475 occuring around 6300 RPM. Peak torque was 462 RWTQ at around 4400 RPM.

Overall I am happy with the cars performance but I am considering a change to a solid roller cam for some additional torque and power without lossing any street manors.
