After 6+ years of ownership I hit 10K miles the other day, figured I’d do a review of the car… J/K
So… Thought I’d share some results for the last few weeks/months of drag racing while things were being dialed in and such…
My Car: 2010 Audi S4 - DSG with sports dif, currently has 10,100 miles, most runs done with 1/8 - 1/4 tank of gas, tools and spare removed.
Mods: APR tune, APR DSG tune with LC disabled/AMAX enabled, APR blower pulley, APR crank pulley, APR TB, APR intake(larger filter and no box), APR CPS v1, 034 HFC’s, Miltek non-res dp/catback, front and rear sways, 380mm Brembo BBK, JHM LW rear rotors, BBS CHR’s, Conti’s with varying tire pressure depending on the conditions.
I’m not going to discuss or show pictures of the APR products as I’ve been asked not to and I’m sure they’ll cover everything upon release. Let’s just say the product(s) work very well. Remember my best prior to the new mods but with dual pulley was 11.45 at 119.56 in a much better DA of 180 and with a tune that bypassed very little boost but did have shift hang-ups.
Here is my best run from Sept. 24th.
DA – 1,817

Struggled with a few DSG hang-ups on this day but was happy as I thought it was a good start and a new PB for me. Basically the first time I ran with the new hardware/software in any decent DA.
Here is my best run from Oct. 29th.
DA – 2,343

121.85 ¼ MPH
Worked though a few things over the month of Oct. and finally had the shifting issues resolved and got a bunch of clean passes but not the best DA’s or IAT’s. Another new PB even in the crappy DA and pretty much all passes were in the 11.3x range.
Here is my best run from Nov. 5th.
DA – 1,197
http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-altitude-calculator.php?temperature=59.0&rh=64&altset=30.33&elevation=1230&track=58&month=11&day=5&year=2016&time=12:53%20PM

123.48 ¼ MPH
Ran a few other 11.2x passes. Car ran great with no shifting issues. Still not the greatest DA but much better than before and it’s reflected in the ET and trap improvement. Logs look great with very nice timing values, little to no timing retard, no bypass, fast shifts, etc. Another new PB but just off Loe’s overall record in a DA that was about 600 feet worse. Confident lined up same day same track I’ll do pretty well against any B8/B8.5 S4.
Unfortunately, I got one more shot on Nov. 12th in sub 500 DA’s but I couldn’t get any race gas as it was sold out everywhere and by the time I realized that I couldn’t get any shipped in time. I did run 11.28 on 100 octane with a great deal of timing pull. I’m done for the year as it’s raining today and it’s the last day of the year around here. Would have liked to make a pass in killer DA with 104 octane. I feel the car will go 11.1x at 124.xx as is and near ideal conditions, will see in the spring. Confident APR has a few more good things in the pipeline and hopefully I can test them in the spring! Really happy with the progress the platform has made in general and I know it’s going to continue to get better and I look forward to keep pushing the car… Looking forward to going 10’s on the stock blower!
Big thanks to APR, especially Eric, Sean, Joel, Tom, Naj, and Arin for helping make it happen and letting me be involved in the process! Can’t say enough good things about these guys and how they’ve gone above and beyond to help me… GO APR!!!
Let me know if there are any questions/comments… Let the hating begin! lol
Here are some gopros/vids of various runs… I’m hoping to get more vids from outside as a guy from work took some but he hasn’t sent them to me yet. Unfortunately, none of the 11.25 run but I did get the 11.28 on 100.
Here are the slips and pics showing tech card and full interior…
