I've already had to replace one engine just running stock so running 20 psi+ in this is a little concerning out of warranty

E85 does nothing for this platform. 115 trap is attainable with those mods (although I just noticed he's not fully catless; has a 200 cell cat; even more impressive!). Like I posted before, there are several 340i's trapping ~115 over on n54tech, with just piggyback, intake, DP. This platform seems very inconsistent from car to car. I think it's mostly due to throttle closures. I lose a TON of forward momentum on WOT shifts. And of course, there will always be "fast" tracks and "slow" tracks. But regardless, an 11.5 is attainable with X-Drive on a 115 trap with a strong launch.
