Just ordered 18x9 Nuespeed wheels and JHM LW Rotors...

B8 S4
#1

So my goal has been set…

Hoping for an 11.4@120 when the track opens, we will see what comes ;D

My 60-130 is over 1 second faster compared to what my old car ran and that car went (11.8@117.9) and i even went faster on this car 60-130 on straight 93 than my old car went on 104…

I guess time will tell :slight_smile:

My old tune on the b8.5 when i went to the track did 11.5 60-130 on MS109, the final tune from GIAC did 9.6 on C16…

Figuring i ran 12.1 on stock rotors and 51lb wheels, i’m thinking just the wheels are rotors should be good for .2 seconds and this new tune making more power should take care of the rest…

I guess only time will tell but the goal has been set :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you have the test pipes on the B8.5? I know you did on the B8, but I am not sure what all you put on the B8.5… Either way, looking forward to see what you do. 11.4 may be a tad optimistic, but I think a 11.5 or 11.6 is doable. Good goal regardless.

#3

what ever happened to your intercooler upgrade… did you do it to this car as well.

#4

1 second 60-130 is probably good for two tenths of et

Don’t forget stock s4 is like 15.4 seconds right? Knocking 5 seconds off got you to high 11s from low 13 1/4 mile

#6

Sweet, can’t wait to see what you run when the track opens.

What route did your dad go with his B8.5?

#7

Thanks!

He’s got APR CPS, GIAC Stage 2, DSG Flash, Roc Euro Intake, H&R OE Springs, AWE Catback

#8

I was thinking about 2 tenths as well, plus I have worked on my launch so I think I can cut a tenth there as well and if I can go in ideal conditions I was thinking another tenth there which is where I came up with 11.4… I could be totally off but at this point I really do think the car is capable. I guess we will see soon enough lol

#9

Having goals is fine, even if you don’t reach them. hell if you fall a tenth and 2 mph short, you’re the fastest S4 in the world.

You’re also someone who has been to the strip and backed up the talk if you would. i.e. you say ‘I want to do this, run that’, and then go and try to do it as opposed to just keyboard race about what your car ‘woulda coulda shoulda’.

Then you have the guys like burningcoals who say that because his car did well in a 60-130 and was faster than a car that went 10.X in the 1/4 mile, he walks around saying that his car is a 10 second car when asked.

I wish you luck Stig, lol seriously though you have all the right ingredients…just need some good weather and traction.

#11

Pete, I think your optimistic but wish you luck and am pulling for you… If a GIAC car gets the record I hope it’s you or Jeff not Supreme Power, 1slowscam, or Austin… It will all by a moot point on April 5th or 12th depending on when Thompson opens ;D

#12

Auditude3.0T sounds like a great list of mods. Good to know there are no changes that would make the headers not work. I don’t know enough to know if that new list of mods will get you there but Im cheering for you.

can we hear more…

#13

Good luck. It would be good to see more GIAC and non DSG cars high on that list.

#14

Pete - are any tracks open out by you? I think everything around Chicagoland is closed until spring.

#15

primetime already has the 1740 blower on his B8 S4. Although mum is the word, he appears bursting at the seams wanting to share his good fortune.

#16

^^ Actually, I’ve heard that the rumors about the 1740 not being available for the B8 are true, and that prime is beta testing APR’s new Stage III option. :slight_smile:

#17

interesting. No idea what that would be then. Maybe he has gone to the dark side and is using the EpicFail kit.

Or maybe APR has gone to an Eaton M90 lol

#18

Haha enjoying the friendly trolling in getting PT to reveal his true setup… PT come to Cayuga to strut your stuff

#19

I heard a rumor he went with the double secret Stage III 1740 blower setup from AWE with a custom GIAC tune and plans to retire from the strip after doing a sub 10sec opening day.

but could just be hearsay.

#20

Maybe he has APR’s DSG tune?
