Sweet. Did the JHM boys rate your install 
Not that I know of. I am just happy that they could squeeze me in because multiple people there told me that they had four timing chain jobs on B6/7 S4s waiting to go. That is on top of messing with the shop S5, the multiple stage two B6/7 S4 builds, and other stuff.
Update: Atco dragway closed that day. So I started getting the car ready for winter until some old friends talked me into going out to Oakland/San Francisco Cali.
Well after four days and 3K+ miles of driving I ended up here:

While on the way there I stopped at a few cool places. One of them was the Corvette factory in Bowling Green KY. I lucked out in that I made the only tour that they let through because of a parts supply issue before shutting down for the holidays. All my life I have been a Ford fan but I really wanted to see the C7 Stingray at the Washington DC Auto Show and they didnât bring it there.

Another was the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The bet that I made in the casino covered most of my traveling expenses too - YAY! I know that we have some UFC fans here so I thought that you guys would like this:

I made the whole trip without any issues and didnât burn a drop of engine oil. Hell, I even got decent gas mileage along the way while sticking to the 55-75 mph speed limits. Hope that all you guys have a happy holidays.
SO should we expect some epic Sacramento runs? with a fleet of 3-letter company FI cars?
Wow jbones. My favourite build thread just got better. JHM sent you their cherished child, a supercharger for the B6 S4. You have nurtured it, installed it with your own sweat and blood and now you return to California to show its creators what it is capable of.
Amazing bounceback!
We shall see if they are up to it. Sacramento is open on Saturday 12-28-2013.
Thanks Bongo.
It was great to meet you today, James!
It was great to meet all of you guys today! I really enjoyed the ride in Danâs RS4.
Here is the picture that Dru took of my car on the lift. I need to get the car washed just a little bit.

what kind of tires are those?
also you should go back to JHM if itâs not too far. Get them to check the car over, log it, and do some pulls against Jayâs b6.

From his build thread lazy ass⌠http://audirevolution.net/forum/index.php?topic=995.msg24218#msg24218
Let me guess, you think they look meatyâŚhaha
Not a bad idea. First I need to go to the gas station that Jay and Keaton told me about for some race gas because this 91 octane sucks. Also am downloading a octane calculator too.
I just looked at the date when I first posted the pics of my wheels and tires. That feels so long ago.
=[[
Just a look under the hood or some more parts going in?
Maintenance. I needed an engine oil+filter and SC oil change.

Wow, I peel off from the forums for a while and come back to some great reading material. I just wanted to catalog though:
So are you rougher on the car than JayBQuick, or are we just missing all the photos of JHMâs carnage? I want to see your next trick, a 4130 fabricated rear diff housing. Do you figure youâll have any issues with the rubber bushing on the driveshaft carrier?
This mirrors my findings; it was 50+whp for me, and that was a mostly stock car. I ran mine all the way up with the flaps in each position when my flaps were stuck just for posterity. Dyno copied below for posterity as well:

Anyway, so whatâs new and unbroken, James?
Jason, I am sure that both Jason@JHM and I have a pile of broken parts. That reminds me that I filled up a whole trashcan with scrap parts, which doesnât include the old trans or rear diff cases.
Recently I shipped off some parts to be looked at for stronger replacements so I will update when I hear back.
A while ago, I installed 034 Motorsport billet engine mounts with 10 mm studs and their billet transmission mount. Also got new rebuilt OEM front axles for upcoming 1/4 mile passes like tomorrow. So we shall see how it goes.
It definitely made a noticeable improvement to take off the intake manifold flap piece and grind it open a little bit.
Jason broke just about everything in the pursuit of seeing where they should spend their time. With that being said they didnât think the diff was a big weakness that warranted investigating. IF you shred one like jbones did here, just count yourself unlucky and move on.
