Curious to know more about the Chevelle and what that was running…
Someone chimed in about it being last Friday night 08/24. That pic appears to be around dusk. If so the DA was around 2000+ ft.
more like 1252. 034 ran a dismile 12.4 @ no better then 117. This is ko3+ tertiory. The list of excuses will keep piling up and the amount of bullshit keeps getting ddper and deeper. Lets be honest. No one is going to by that 034 went to teh track on 91 octane. Even if they did they should havd done better then 12.4. Lets face it. You don’t make a most only to not make a post. This has fail city all over it.
The only fail here is you saying a K03 car will do 117. How about it is what it is? How about you show us what you can do? I’ve come to the realization that most people on here are just like FAW. All talk, all full of bullshit since they never do it themselves they just talk shit about people that do actually race their setups.
I think he said K03+ a.k.a. a bit more than K03 and was more referring to the 12.4 which 3 different K03 B5 S4s have run. As for what he can do, all he did was go 11.5 @ 131 in 90 degree heat and 90% humidity at 2600 feet density altitude. That good enough for you? is he allowed to talk now? This whole ‘you don’t have a fast car so you can’t speak’ is fucking bullshit. You NEVER had a fast car so why are we listening to you? Your car ran low 12s @ teens MPH. Great. Way to light the world on fire.
Anyway, this 034 result is a ‘modest’ result and I think we can all agree on that.
Do I get a prize? I predicted 12.2 @ 117
As the 034 guys have said this was ‘initial testing’ so hopefully they will dial the kit in and run something more impressive. I frankly don’t know why they bothered announcing these results. This should have been part of their behind the scenes testing. These shakedown runs should have been done 2 months ago and kept quiet.
Anyone know what fuel they used? Have we seen a timeslip?
p.s. WORST case scenario, they went in shitty conditions and matched what 99% of the K04 cars have run…and I believe this kit is like half that cost isn’t it? So not a complete fail. They just shouldn’t have splashed these results out along with epic dyno numbers because now there’s a disconnect that makes us ask ‘who is tuning the car? or who is tuning the dyno?’

Well if I never had a fast car, what do you have? You shouldn’t even be on the internet then I suppose.
I knew the 034 single turbo results would cause a shit storm on here because you have people like you talking about going fast when you never do. ChrisK went 11.5 @ 131? Well fuck, why aren’t you telling him he should have been in the 10’s?
I’ve never gone fast? That’s rich coming from a guy who races his stock cars and then talks shit about other peoples and shops accomplishments when you don’t know the first thing about building, tuning and working on something to get to a goal by yourself.
So lets see, I’ve never gone fast. So how fast have you ever gone? What was YOUR biggest project? bringing your car to a place to bolt on some mufflers and headers on your S4 and a tune? Tell me, in all your wisdom of tuning cars or dealing face to face with proper shops that crank out world known fabrication and cars.
Tell us what YOU Sakimano has done to advance a platform… I’d love to hear it.
All you’re good for is to stir up the pot, and talk a bunch of meaningless bullshit because it’s easy for you to do that. You’ve never invested anything so you can never fail. Your type is nothing new.
I definitely agree here. I was just speaking to my girlfriend about this last night. Since the video is said to be disclosed today I’m interested to see the time slip as well.

I wouldn’t be allowed on the internet if your retarded theory that only those with fast cars are allowed to speak was true. Not sure why I have to prove I’ve done something to go ‘fast’ to you…as I said, your theory means fuck all to me. It should mean fuck all to you too…because if it WERE true, all you’d be able to talk about is going high 12s in a stage II B5…and going stage III with Tials and pump/meth, only to run like an OTS 2005 APR K04 kit. You don’t even own an Audi, yet you’re here posting. That’s fine frankly…I don’t believe in muzzling people for silly reasons. If they have something to say, let’s hear it.
You act like it’s insulting to me that my RS4 is still stock after 10 months of ownership, or that my B7 S4 only had tune/downpipes/exhaust/intakespacers/crank pulley/LW rotors. I guess on ***** that’s how guys measure their dicks by how complicated their builds are. Great stuff! Go there, and stay there if so. This forum and many others are not built in that model. Anyone can say whatever they want. If a shop is flat LYING to customers/forum members, why the fuck shouldn’t we be calling them out? We have to post a dyno sheet or quarter mile time of our own to have an opinion? How about using our collective gathered knowledge about a platform to make an opinion instead.
You are one of these enablers who make the scam artist shops THRIVE…because you attack the people who question the results that don’t seem to add up.
As for what I have contributed to the platform, I don’t really measure my self-worth by what others think of me on car forums. You’d have to ask the guys who owned B6/7 S4s or RS4s if I’ve been a worthy contributor. It should be patently obvious though that I don’t really guide my posts by trying to appease everyone, especially guys like you, the enablers…or the tuning companies guys like you like to protect. I say what I think and if that steps on someone’s toes, that’s just how it is. If anyone wants to show me facts that show me that my questions/opinions are unwarranted or flat wrong, I welcome it and will admit to being wrong if that’s the case.
If my questions that you don’t like so much are unwarranted, tell me how. Explain the results that peak my curiosity. But don’t just bitch and whine that you don’t want me to ask hard questions. YOU are contributing nothing by doing that. You’re holding back the process of vetting the products the tuners are pushing on the people.
I definitely think that Saki is the reason why 034 took that single to the track and that Maxx is a fool for rushing to get to the track.
I had a k03 car trap 116mph on 93+meth… I don’t think that’s far fetched, especially on racegas or e85. I’m actually hoping to beat that trap with another k03 car on e85 
How many time did the k03 car go down the track and how many times did it do 116?
I wonder if max still wants to race me?
Still curious on fuel and boost level so I can more accurately compare to my shake down runs in the high 120s, low 130s at a DA of over 6000 feet, for science you know.
lol mean
[QUOTE=Max@034;7926217]Thanks for the patience as always!
Car ran an 11.85 @ 118.4mph. The track requires a half cage under 12 seconds so we had to leave after we did a few runs in the 11’s.
This was the first time this car has ever set foot on the drag strip, and our goal was basic testing, shakedown, and a general starting point. This is my daily driver with 150k miles on the car and transmission (bad 1/2 and 3/4 collars), and we didn’t want to break anything yet. After 15 back to back runs over the course of a couple hours with only one cool down session, and air temps of 95-100 degrees, there wasn’t a single hiccup or issue. We only started to launch the car towards the later part of the session, and we are happy with the overall performance with all things considered.
21psi on the 6262 turbo, .64 AR turbine housing, Journal Bearing CHRA, 91oct tune with 110oct race gas in the tank. Worn street tires, sticky transmission, and not a single adjustment made to tire pressure or suspension settings or anything. The car also has a stock center diff for those who asked me via PM.
As a basic starting point for future times, 11.8 is good in our books and we know that will show people we are both serious about testing, and give a peak at the potential performance once we get things dialed.
Since the test car is my daily driver and something I drive to and from work everyday, we felt this was also a great illustration of something that a lot of people could easily do right off the street with our kit, and without any big worry of breaking anything. The next time we head out, we will be testing and comparing more boost, a 110oct tune, more aggressive launches, a ball bearing center section, and maybe even a rebuilt transmission (this would knock a half second right there!). The ball bearing CHRA should help considerably with recovery time between shifts!

EDIT: Jesus you guys are fast… beat me to it.
here you go; let the shit talking begin…
there are details on Audizine if anyone cares. We are happy with an 11.85 @ 118 for 21psi and considering this is my daily driver. I’m not sure who really expected more then this for a shakedown? With some minor changes the car will show times that will compare with anything else out there.
There is what, 1 or 2 Tial cars in the 11’s, and how many kits in use? the real test will be once customers have the kit and start pushing things.
take it however you want.

Jared, I’d still love to have a friendly race with you and see the real world differences. This would be pretty easy for us to setup, so I say in a 100% friendly tone that I’d still love to race. Be nice to compare Ken’s 770 car as well, since it has the exact same motor as mine.

only people who deserve shit talking are people like this:

[QUOTE=Aggv;7925502]1/4 racing is the best. It better be faster than a 10.8…

lol
Hey Max…those are good times for a starting point. 11.8 @ 118 for a car that is running a ‘conservative’ 91 file is pretty decent even if it had race gas in the tank…the 91 file likely leaves a ton on the table.
I can say that you are leaving some time on the table in the first half of the track driving wise. Probably 1.5-2 full tenths there.
Thanks for providing some data. As I mentioned above if the kit is delivering decent results and the price is right, and there’s still more in it, that’s pretty succesful.
Do you guys plan on going back for a bit more of an attempt at a better time or is this all for you guys for this kit?
Sick, nice work max! Glad you got her into the 11s.
Just noticed the 60, its only going to get faster… Let’s to some fun fall runs at sac with good fuel. Not sure wtf will happen. Nate has me on the tuning I am pretty sure.
I 2nd the fun runs at sac!
A mid 1.7 60ft is pretty good for this car, I mean you could produce a 1.6 or 1.5 but would be a lot easier on drag radials.
11.8@118 is not bad at all considering the warm temps, shake down runs and limited driver skillz!
What really amazes me is how a big company(seemingly big for the industry) like 034 wouldn’t just rebuild the transmission on the car they were testing it out on. Really you have no excuses when you are at their level, fix the transmission and stop with the excuses.
Thanks Saki; we most definitely will be back out there, multiple times. Like I think was quoted above, we still will be testing a few other things beyond just more power. We will work up to some serious launches and aggressive boost/tuning. Sacramento isn’t easy for us to get to on Friday evenings, so give us some time to head back out again, but we promise to deliver faster and faster results.
Thanks Jared. I’m excited to see what she can do once things get pushed. When we plan our next outing, we’ll let you know.
Wanna tell Javad (the boss) that part about the transmission?!?!? Cause I’d sure as hell love a new transmission, hahaha! ;D
I hear what you are saying, but a couple things: we do not have unlimited resources and the single turbo kit is far from our only project. We’ve got more things going on then I can keep track of, across all kinds of different cars.
And secondly, it is a tricky subject since the “034 STK Test Car”, is my personal daily driver. Everyone here @ 034 helps out the company, and part of my contribution was to allow my car to be used. You can imagine there are obvious benefits to this (teeheehee), but at the same time, obvious disadvantages as well.
The transmission is a prime example; were the car a 034Motorsport owned car, then getting the transmission rebuilt would be far easier to justify and would have already happened. However, at the end of the day, I own the STK test car and as generous as the boss is to his employees, he unfortunately isn’t going to drop all the coin on a rebuild (especially since they aren’t cheap!) when I drive the car home at the end of the day.
The tranny needs a rebuild, and it will get one, but we plan on breaking some stuff first before we go overhauling anything like that!!
