I'm sure you would've passed me if the speeds kept going up, I'll be happy to run you again if you want so we can see what speed you pass me at. You're too nice of a guy I feel bad that I let off now
My nitrous system is direct-port and my throttle bodies already have 10 holes. Since I can't get rid of the nitrous, mind just use them even for 10sec of fun.

Don't feel bad about let off the gas, i rather race you again than something went wrong with you or your car. "Would have" "could have" "should have" not my cup of tea, win is a win, enjoy this one, bro. I definitely want a rematch though

Thanks for the advise about the nitrous, I was so desperate last year needing more power, but not to be offended to anyone, the nitrous not my cup of tea. It good for staging/prep short race and not on the highway run like I always do. My 10lbs bottle only last three races two week agos(sprayed from 3th-7th gear and speed from 75-195mph, 75-205mph, and one short 60-140mph). After nitrous gone, i will be like "stock" car even with full bolt-on mods(headers/exhaust/pulley/intake/ecu,etc)

Note: are you from kirkland, WA?
Yes I am from Kirkland, and to be honest with you nitrous serves its purpose but its too much of a hassle. Very soon my nitrous system goes away to be replaced with a turbo setup. It's almost better to build a very strong N/A car and then add nitrous on top of it if nitrous is your cup of tea.

FI is the way to go. No bottle to refill, maybe once in awhile fill up on water/methenol. I'm just hoping for some tuners to come up with affordable/reasonable turbo kit for E60 M5, it such a low demand for this model compare to M3 platform. Currently bolt-on tt kit cost around $40+ and with internal strengthen up head/cams/rods running $60-75k.

I grew up and went to U-Dub before relocate to sunny socal, still miss the rain once in a while though
