Not wasted money because you have a turn key solution vs. gutting stock downpipes etc which is kinda toxic.

Some will say gutted large chambers in stock downpipes where the cats were cause problems with non-laminar airflow, so again you’ve avoided that. Not sure I believe it’s a huge deal, but let’s pretend it was: you addressed it. You also have the potential for upside.

If the downpipes were $1500 , sure you overspent. If they were $500-1200 they make sense because that’s where the market is. They also have value so you can alwyas sell them later.

#102

$600 is what I paid. It’s all good. :slight_smile:

Hot off the press: schedule is pushed back a week due to illness (I won’t be dropping off car this week), which means 1/4 results are likely pushed 2 weeks based on local strip availability. Bummer, but there ya’ go. I’m still having fun driving it :slight_smile:

#104

I will be at the track this weekend. It will probably be next month for the next Test n Tune.

#105

next month…ughhh…oh well.
Have fun and let me know how it goes!

#106

Really? Our track is open for test and tune two days a week in spring and four days a week in summer.

Were you going to go this week or something per? Didn’t catch that. Do some more pulls with various cars. Those vids are always fun to watch and don’t need you to drive to a dragstrip.

Hunt down a well sorted jhm tuned car. There must be a couple there. We have about five or six jhm quarter mile passes on our database below so it will give a good benchmark.

Did I miss it or did you not post the videos from audizine here as well?

#108

Will you have your pom poms…or will you actually be trying to drive a car down it?

#109

^^^65 vette you missed it

#110

Yup, and I ended up putting them up on Youtube, too, which is what I linked to on AZ…

#111

Saki - in my first post I wrote that hopefully I’d have results by week of April 8th, so plan was that I was going to drop off @AMD for final tune tweak this week, then the strip this weekend.

To be totally clear, I’m out of town through Monday, so I actually asked Jason to take it to the track and run it for me so we could get the numbers ASAP. Probably a good idea, too, since I’ve never ever run at a strip before, and while it’s something I have some interest in to do and learn, I know I wouldn’t end up with the best measure of the car’s performance with me behind the wheel at this point :wink:

#112

…and yes…I’ll be looking to do pulls against others moving forward. Definitely fun!

#113

If you are ever down in Portland Per I could likely get 2 RS4s to run with you. We both have the same exhaust with piggies and an h-pipe. That’s all I have. The other car has P&P and JHM beta tune. Could be a a few more “data” points.

#114

Cheers, jared…I’ll keep that in mind. I do seem to make it down there once or twice a year.

#115

Agreed 100%… bunch of wacko’s on here giving this guy a hard time because they can’t let things go.

Here is a great example plus anything that ChrisK says is just a pile of garbage:

I don’t even know how you think anyone with a functioning brain can take you serious right now with posts like this. The level of stupid/nonsense in this thread from you can ChrisK are completely off the charts right from page 1.

#116

It’s the truth, shit for brains. Look around at people who have been hassled on various forums. It’s always one of those reasons. Find me an example when it wasn’t.

What would you know anyway? You have zero knowledge on the 4.2 forums and their history.

But that’s exactly the point… you took a perfectly good thread, and started a conspiracy theory about the dyno plot etc… I mean… you beg for info, literally and then when you get a shred you and your sidekick go crazy with your theories and bullshit.

To any normal person reading this thread it’s just showing that you have no sense of reason at all.

You of all people normally discredit dyno plots as a whole, you know full and well that various dynos, conditions etc influence the outcome… you have no idea at all about anything that transpired there when the OP did his base line.

#118

I did absolutely nothing to start a conspiracy theory about the dyno plot. Want to re-think your answer?

I said to RS4per that his rationale that the ‘before’ dyno read low absolves AMD of doing any funny business with their dyno doesn’t hold water because if someone were selling a supercharger kit with manipulated dyno numbers, they would be incented to have a low baseline to make the delta look better.

I then went out of the way to say that I wasn’t implying this about AMD, and that I don’t care about dyno numbers anyway, but just explained that it doesn’t really line up with the implications about AMD’s dyno history. Further, I referenced the EPL Tuning problems thread I started where I said the AMD cars with 605 or 770 turbos CLEARLY make epic power not just because of the AMD dynos, but because of the insane high end acceleration. I made it clear that I thought the problem with real world or 1/4 mile performance that the AMD cars see is a result of the poor tuning from EPL.

Let me help you out…because you’re lost

this thread…

the ‘where are all the fast EPL 1/4 mile times’ thread…

Check your facts.

#119

lol check my facts?

I think it’s hilarious you think there is any truth to “EPL tuning problems” this is all things you just make up in your head. Like I said, you’re just full on conspiracy theories that’s all… you and your little internet circle jerk friends.

#120

Was this guy on a self-induced hiatus or a karma induced one? I’m pretty sure no one missed you buddy…
