yes , yes he was... that's just how hard my mini puts down...the last race though he popped a cel and limited his boost, had a dirty wastegate we had to clean.
we did some more things to his r56 so we are gonna have to run them again but lol his r56 still isn't going to hang..

m7 intake piping , esc carbonfiber intake , upgraded bpv spring , larger intercooler , 2nd cat delete and exhaust and it's a highly maintained engine , even just had timing done ect on it and maybe a few othe minor boltons I may be forgetting but that's the gist of it.
he popped a code last race and lost power because a boost hose blew off...
my cars pulling abit harder and running much better now that adriancl retuned it for me.. I ended up having to replace a rear hub too , you can hear it sqealing in the videos..lol yaaaaaa it pretty much seized up before I realized it was kaput.

If he only has bolt-on's, no way he's going to match a tuned and modified R53. If he get's a tune, he will have a better chance at keeping up.

So you street raced your buddy on a public street doing 120mph in a 45mph zone and posted it on the internet? Good luck with that.

Im glad your Karen about safety but thx for ur concern... in my community I know when and where I can open my car up. I live in a huge car community area and it's not like I'm some noob who just ripped through traffic at 120..

I think it's going to take far more than a tune . I can tag his car while he's full throttle. Like nothing even while in a higher gear... it's going to take ALOT more than just a tune to even hang.lol my stock r53 vs my built one is even funnier , my built one could beat the stock one at a 30 roll while in 5th even if stocker was in 1st
