A software update that is.
After debating on whether to go directly to APR Stg 2 or not, I finally settled on Stg 1 and all I can say is Wow!!! I haven’t even driven it 50 miles for adaptation and damn, what a difference. The car pulls much harder from about 5K to red line and revs much faster as well. Even down low there seems to be more grunt – this all on Ca 91 craptane. I did get the 100 file as well and will try that as soon as I get a chance to get over to the local filler up station for some VP Racing Fuel. Curious to see what she’ll be like when the ECU settles in too.
I realize Stg 1 is a yawn for most of you hard core veterans on here, and I look forward to Stg 2 down the road, but this will do for now. The reason I didn’t go straight to Stg 2 was really financially based – just didn’t feel like biting of something north of $2K right now with labor. So Stg 1 it is and I plan to buy the pulley/belt and pulley removal kit and do the swap myself and save about $400 labor in the process.
Anyway, some of you may remember my post when I ran my buddies 6MT Revo v2 S4 and got clobbered. Well that race is going to happen again, but this time I’m expecting an entirely different outcome. Stay tuned!!
P.S. There’s also going to be a friendly little run vs a friend’s E92 M3. It’s got full exhaust and tune so it’ll be interesting to see how I stack up there. I think I’m gonna get my ass handed to me on that one though. ;D
