Well, there's your problem. A lot of people are getting the intake port cleaning around the 40k mark, half your mileage, posted pictures and their ports look HORRIBLE. I can't imagine what yours looks like at 90k.

I disagree that it should still hit 13's. A It may not be unreasonable that the car is down 40hp (only 13% or so), which would explain a 98mph trap. I wouldn't consider the ET as that has a lot more to due with your launch.

I would go ahead and get the walnut blasting or some sort of intake port cleaning done and get back to us. That seems so glaring given what I've seen with people's ports. I'm only at about 36k and getting ready to do my car already.

And yes, it sucks that it has to be done. Blast the car and BMW all you want, I'll agree, but doesn't change the fact that it has to be done.
