Saxon you know that EPL has already launched a tune for us right? no numbers provided. ever.

One or 2 local guys have claimed to have the file (including the scamartist that used to work at Drive) but no one has run the file or done any sort of testing and posted up. Not saying APR and GIAC are the shit but they have cars in the mid 11’s with just bolt ons. Say what you want about Prime but there are other with the same and more in mods who aren’t near his times. If you think he is new to this game he is not.

Here is what Eric said:

It sounds like they are going to take what EPL has started and then make it actually work (if that is even possible, given EPL’s sorry history). So it’s a like a jump-start after sinking ~ $200k on the three cars they just bought.

saxon: You got way ahead of yourself here. That’s why it’s better not to react emotionally and actually read what people are saying. No one was bashing AMS. We were just questioning the relationship with EPL. You somehow turned that into the entire forum being APR/GIAC “leg-humpers” and then personally attacked some of our most committed members on here.

Go back and read the thread again. This is all nonsense.

#203

Yea if you go over the thread it was pretty much all exicitement until someone said they were working with EPL

#204

Exactly. I would expect them to take EPL’s file and tweak/fix it. Similar things have been done in the past with great results. IE a 12 second car turning into an 11 second car with a retune :stuck_out_tongue: Hopefully they don’t just attach their name to it and call it a day.

#205

This shit cray.

You guys are nuts, just smoke some Canadian and go for a drive.

LoL.

Saki, you are one passionate muther fucker, I can appreciate that, you need to realize though when you are beating a dead horse(I.e Saxon). He believes what he believes and after 5 pages of the same, and I literally mean the same facts and examples or statements back and fourth between you two, it’s time to be the bigger man. This thread has totally gone off course.

Saxon, same.

I have spoke with both personally on the phone. That’s howi know how the partnership will work…

#207

Nah, I prefer my stuff ;D it’s not as cookie cutter as that Canadian stuff… Lol

#208

No way. We know how to BAKE much better than y’all down south :stuck_out_tongue:

#209

I think there are just a few well wishers…

Facts…

AMS isn’t main streem Audi…they dont know the beand as well as some of the other established comoanys…will there past garantee them success In the audi market…no…

Is AMS partning up with EPL lowering our excitement for AMS yes…to many it shows just how little they know about the audi market and the players in it…

If AMS said they were partners with GIAC…or a real established brand…we would have all shit ourselves with excitment APR included…

With AMS are we going to see more evo style testing the slicks and removed seats…thats great that they want to break records…how about they prove they can make a great product…worrying about breaking records shouldn’t be a top priority. Making a solid product should be…

Is apr always the fastest no…its hard to say in most cases there not the best…is AMS the fastest…not at everything but there also not the best at everything either…

This custom tune garbage…the fastest guys at the track have been pioneers in all parts…this is just more testing.

#210

Nice! Let’s let Jeff reply since he tried some of the southern hospitality when he visited… Jeff?

#211

They have a dyno plot and traps 113mph stage 1, what more is needed

#212

Lol… So much for that “custom tuning”, I went 12.06 at 116.82 in a 450da with just tune, catback, and intake… You know the cookie cutter mods! Oh and that was over 3 years ago… Lol.

Link to their slip please?

#213

What track do you go to?

#214

conspicuous absence of et

Classic epl

Their junk tune b5 s4s are always posting trap speeds and no et. It’s embarrassing when you trap 125 and run 12.49 with tials because the tuner doesn’t know how to manage driving dynamics.

#215

Thompson raceway park in Thompson ohio… It’s ihra certified… Decent track, horrible altitude and average at best da’s…

Oh here is the slip as I speak with facts… Now where is the slip you referenced?

#216

Lolol. Did someone really run that?

#217

That’s stage 2 aka a pulley correct?

#218

No, look at the date on the slip… Apr tune, strat intake, miltek non res… Still had stock cats, pulley, wheels, brakes, cooling, etc. GIAC ran the same time with a little less mph in a better da… Over a year later…

#219

What are you trapping currently with the mods

#220

Never mindi see on the 1/4 mile chart. … so you picked up less than 1 mph going from stage one to stage 2 with hfc and lighter wheels and brakes? Something seems fishy there
