@jason:addict, congrats!! Looks like great progress.
This seems to be the dissorder with amd people…an 11.36 isnt anything like a 10 second pass. People who actually go that fast know that. Ur 4 tenths of a second off a solid 10 second time…
Im mot saying that throwing more heat at the car and better driving cant get you more but lets hold the the reality train for you…
In case you missed it…great run awesome time…

AMD is not the only one saying that. Auditude was claiming his driving will get this car into the 10’s as well.
I will promise you my driving won’t get this car in the 10’s.
Well than maybe your not that great of a driver.
He’s probably a better driver than you. Only a bad driver would destroy four clutches in three years.
lol…reminds me of all the idiots on AZ that can’t drive their JHM tuned cars. I was reading another fail review http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/538849-JHM-Tune-report and it’s surprising so many people can’t drive these damn cars. I mean my wife can drive it smooth as butter for fuck sakes. I taught her to drive manual when we got married and we’ve owned at least one manual car since (9years)…she even said she wished her Q5 was a 6 speed.lol
Anyways after that thread I had to go take the car for a drive…can I replicate a touchy throttle…yes, but can I accelerate smoothly in every gear…YES! 1st 2nd 3rd, it doesn’t matter if you have throttle control. It makes me think everyone comes from 150hp NA 4cylinders with zero torque so they don’t know how to act when a car actually moves out when the accelerator is pressed!
Sorry, that turned into a rant.
Big round of applause to everyone that worked and was part of getting this kit together, car owner included. Great results.
You know, with all this stuff on the horizon for the RS4 and the RS5, I’m just getting V8 envy. Fuck. [rant over]
So AMD, curious what car ran 11.8xs last night… Please share…
That would be Per’s [ LP ] / (.9) RS4. As the track and night cooled off, traction was a problem again. Will do some Pbox data at the end of the week, covering hopefully all the performance metrics.
Personally I’m impressed with the performance range of the 1900.
Wow really? Snap that’s Apr equalling. Pretty solid. Any more timeslip info?
@ 118.X MPH.
More info to present soon.
Perfect match to the rocketman time with the Apr kit, which is what we figured would be a ‘success’ for a base kit.
Now get um to tune some tial b5 cars. Maybe my ‘where are all the fast epl tuned cars’ thread from last year will make more sense to some of the blind fan boys who raged on me as a hater.
Thanks for clarifying… Can you share the other details, IE traps, 60’s, 330, etc. Thanks and nice work!
Gotcha! Looks like I should read all posts before replying… lol
Based on the built in comments about traction I’m assuming bad launches. The car should be good for 1.75 all day. So some left on the table likely.
Jason still cant decide if he’s experienced or not. Imagine what the car would do if he would listen to some people?

good work, nice to see some proper harware on these V8s after the PES/VF diaster a few years ago.
It would be interesting to go dig up those arguments on t.o.f. about undersized blowers. It’s pretty laughable now, but I recall in 2009 those arguments being pretty heated.

Gotta disagree with you on the 10 second point. Looks like this kit and the tts kit could go 10’s but not in its daily driver form. For 10’s you would require a proper race tune, race gas fully stripped and stickies. There’s no question they would 10’s doing the above mentioned
how are you disagreeing? He just said that its retarded to call a car a 10 second car before it runs 10.something. That’s like Usain Bolt showing up in London last August and expecting them to give him the medal without running the race because he is faster than everyone. They put the medal around his neck AFTER he wins. Not before.
Further, what’s the point of stripping an RS4 to achieve a quarter mile time? That’s a bit hollow in my opinion. Fine if it’s for fun, but if you’re a shop setting a benchmark to show what your product does to someone’s RS4, why do so in a form that nobody drives in day to day?
The beauty of running 11.36 @ 126 or 11.42 @ 125 as your car did, is that you arrive at the track in the car, run it without changing fuel or tires or pulling the interior like a ricer, then drive it home and to work the next day. That is awesome.
p.s. that 0.06 that they beat you buy could be made up by removing the babyseat and the rear seat bench from your car (you had a babyseat and full interior…AMD had no babyseat and had the rear seat bench removed). Who owns your car now?
