I try to launch around 3000-3200. That seems to be where I cut the best 60. I imagine with a better clutch I could do a little better.
I had a 600WHP Terminator Cobra before the S4 and I couldn’t get a good launch to save my life. Much easier with AWD. ;D
Welcome to AR jdubya!
X2 on the clutch, should help out with keeping that monster power to the wheels.
is the southbend setup equipped with a LWFW similar (in weight) to the JHM LWFW?
Yes. It’s a steel one piece unit. Not quite as light at the JHM setup.
Jhm lwfw is 13 lbs I think (stock is 26)
I love my LWFW. Completely changed high rpm shifting.
expand on that?
I think its only the case (lwfw chaning high rpm shifting) when you have a JHM short shifter, all those stock shifter preffered goofs will just miss out… haha

stock shifter works just fine!

It’s not like I ran 13.6 or something…
haha shouldnt that be thank you for jumping on board and being one of the first 05s to get a tune (I believe only Jay’s car was tuned before)? Original tune revision with check engine light, milltek catback, probably 30whp down from where it should have been. 90* day with low air pressure and 400 cars at the track. No 94 octane either, full weight and then some. No launch control.
Congrats to jdubya on the 12.4
My car was not on the 100 shot when i went 12.0 it was the jetting for the 70 shot as i dropped the other jets i had. Which was for a 85 and 100 shot. Its been awhile since ive been to the track with my s4. Id have to pull the jets to see which ones are in there now. If they are the 85 then that was what i was running when i went 12.0. I dont remember off the top of my head which jets i dropped and lost. I do think i was at the limit for the stock down pipes which was around a 12.5@110ish which is about the same as the stock s/c auto went. As far as i now me and the auto cars were the only ones that has maxed out the flow for the stock dps. As for the stock manifolds we will see what times i can get out of it. I think there is a 11.7 in my car the way it sits.
Would be great if you could get to the track a couple of times in the next month…would love to see you battle D for the fastest title
Jdubya, welcome and congrats on the run!! Next time I am in OH, we will catch up.
Well it looks like Jdubya is dumping his S4. He said he is getting something with more potential
damn, that’s disappointing. Hopefully something AR related. Good guy.
Would a C6 ZO6 be AR related? ;D
^^^very. We talk about the C6 Z06 periodically. Like when VF supercharged RS4 owners and B8 S4 + tune/exhaust/pulley owners claim to beat them in highway pulls. Then we laugh our asses off.
We need to have a domestic sub-forum.
I would say your input is always related no matter what car you have. Still I would suggest driving a zo6 for a week or two … If you haven’t already before you get one. My brother had one for about three years. He loved the power hated the car. The S4 with a good clutch and the jhm go juice would be my suggestion still over the zo6
