"A 545 is putting down 25xrwhp while a 335 is putting down at least 15rwhp more and 20rwtq. Taking that in mind and the difference in weight the 335 will take a 545 easy."
You hear that ...he said EASY!!!!

I set that person straight. No flames, just the right information. I even included a link back to this thread.

No flames or anything, but a G-Meter is not a good device to measure with. I have tested the old Gtech, Gtech Pro and Tazzo on a 1/mile track and the Gtechs were waaaaay off. 4-5mph and .3-4 off. They made me feel better on the road until i got a reality check at the real strip.
Go take your car on a real drag strip and if you duplicate those numbers. You will see what i mean.
If you dont have a track around you... I would test with Tazzo. It was the closest device to the real times.... It was off in the 60ft only and within tenths of the real time and same mph.

Grogan545,
Thank you for replying! I am currently participating over in the e90post.com thread: http://e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33221. Some believe that the 335 will easily best a 545. I begged to differ and presented your reuslts as proof. Of course, there were critics of your results and they believed that only magazine times as the gold standard for the best times a 545 can achieve. My claim is that normally a stock 335 perhaps will beat a stoch 545 but not by much.
