M5s and Heat

Damn i feel like our cars are so unreliable in heat

I ran 60-130 @ 7.54 sec on stage 1 pump fuel ...

56 degrees

Next day

71 degrees

60-130 @ 8.54!! Wtf?

Is heat that damaging to these cars?

How can we fix? Intercooler ?

Maybe your stage 1 is not very consistent? Before blaming the car....

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. The car seemed to adapt to it. I was told the car would increase the timing to compensate for it. When I first went out in the heat and did a few 0-60 runs they were all around 3.3 if I remember right. Let the car sit and reset for 30 min. Went back out and got a 2.75.

Your DA also went up probably 1-2000 which will cause you a 1/2 second as well
