Santa pod advice

I have just returned back from a weekend up Santa pod,My best time was 13.0seconds dead which I thought was pretty good for a stock 18 plate M140i with me and my mate in it with stuff in the boot 🤣. So the advice I'm after is could I get it under 12 seconds and what could I do. Plus I had over three quarters of a tank of fuel, so weight is what I could get rid of.

Cheers barney, would a suspension upgrade help with the initial takeoff or not, I'm thinking of getting two rear m140i wheels and putting extra sticky tyres on them with a bit wider tyre like a Toyo 888 or federal tyre, and the back seats seam quite heavy so they could go, I think with the tuning box I might wait for the remaps once they are done as maybe smoother. 👍

As above...
To get under 12s is going to take some doing.
Speedychuck got into the high 12s last year and his N54 was at Stage 2+
My brothers race Escort (285bhp, quaife sequential box and sub-1000kg) did an 11.9 a couple of years ago but he's had quite a bit of practise :wink:

A stock Mx40i can get 12.7 and a Mx35i 12.9.

Shaving off 1 second takes a lot more effort than people would think.

Hello Kerr my terminal speed was 110.88 mph, I've only had the car a month 🤣 and did the run in period before I went so the car only had 1400 miles on it so hopefully will loosen up abit more.... I'm interested in the blue spark box and possibly a decat but don't know which one to get is it the decat centre section or decat down pipe &#x1f937-2642;? I've had a few scoobys and an e46 m3 and this is defo faster than them so I'm happy, but would like to hit a 12 or 11.9 but who knows it was the fit time I had done it and enjoyed it.
