REVOLUTIONARY RESULTS - Dragstrip database update notification thread

[Arin]

I can’t explain why the screen is inaccurate. I can just complain about it I generally ignore the screen anyway. It doesn’t reveal the elevation (huge factor) and it doesn’t tell the truth about the times…so it’s irrelevant to me frankly.

So this still doesn’t tell me anything.

If the screen says 8.0 seconds 62-124 mph, if I look at the data, will 62 mph to 124 mph = 8.0 seconds? If not, where are the discrepancies? Rounding on the first decimal place?

FYI the older ones can only use SD cards, not SDHC cards. Maybe that’s your problem?

I’ve tried an SD card. It still doesn’t work.

[quote]p.s. Are you taking your Stage 2 S4 to the dragstrip any time soon?

Probably not.

[quote]Or the S7? Or the S8? Would love to see info on this armada of cars you guys have amassed.

Maybe on these. Probably once software is finished.

1. Not sure what it will say on the file…however my experience…and Tsivas’ experience, has been that the screen is ‘optimistic’ if you would. For example, auditurd ran his dad’s car and the screen showed 3.6 seconds 0-60 mph. That sounds a bit optimistic for a car that was cutting modest 60 foot times. Reviewing the file it showed he went 3.9 seconds I believe. Tsivas can chime in.

2. that’s a bummer…was hoping it was the SD vs. SDHC thing

3. too bad…would have been a chance for a B8 S4 MT6 car to FINALLY beat the two RS4 guys who ran 12.2 and 12.4 with not even a tune

4. looking forward to it

Arin, if you need drivers for all those cars at the strip, we’d be glad to help

I suck so I’ll stick to the DSG stuff.

We do have Ian Baas working for us full time in sales (and driving)

Video - turn it up . . .

From the few runs I did the readout was off also… Showed 3.3 and 3.4 0-60s when the card showed 3.7 and 3.8… No clue why?

Arin, We need baseline numbers on the s7 and s8:). Also, don’t worry about times on the stage3 s4, I’ll handle those:). Lol

Just a housekeeping entry from another post, just so we have another GIAC time on there. Although, I wonder if the reason it’s not there is because we only have one timeslip, rather than two?

The slip is in the video right here: http://youtu.be/WoCTPgHmTk8?t=25s

GIAC Stage 2 with AWE Tuning Pulley

Saki, Can’t recall for sure but I have read of a few over the past couple years… Didn’t one run with you guys at TMP the one time?

PT, you are indeed correct. It’s not in the database but I’m not sure why. Here’s a video, with a picture of the timeslip taken by my own hand:

http://youtu.be/WoCTPgHmTk8

12.88 @ 108.9 for the GIAC 91 car, user seinsmeld. IIRC he has since sold his car and got a 2013.

Oh snap yeah… Totally forgot. I have another of his timeslips…when he raced me.

His car is for sale at Oakville audi if anyone wants to go 12.8 @ 110

why, in case retarded people come to view the thread?

I think everyone knows what that means. It’s noted on the quartermile list that there’s a downpipes/catback column. It’s also noted early in this thread what that would be describing.

Here’s an example of the list with the columns…

[tweetss4estate]

Precisely, clarity removes assumptions… It’s your thread though.

[sakimano]

I don’t understand…what assumptions might people make?

They see that a B5 S4 has 3" catless/3.5" single

If anyone doesn’t know what 3" catless means, they’re not likely to

a) be on this web page in the first place
b) care what downpipes are anyway

I don’t think anyone is signing on, and saying ‘Was it a 3" rocketbooster and the owner prefers dogs?’. I just think you want to say ‘you’re wrong’ about something to me. Fine, say away. You showed me.

[sakimano]

Here tweets…this is why I don’t need to post it here. From the OP. Pretty clear to me.
If you ever get to the dragstrip, now you know how to post your information up.

When you post up your times either here, or in your respective platform’s subforum, remember to include as much info about the run as possible i.e.:
tune
downpipes/catback
octane of the fuel you used
power adder on your car (if stock, say so i.e. B5 S4 K03 or B8 S4 TVSr1320…and if you’re a B5 with K04/RS6 hybrids, make note. If you’re an NA car with a supercharger setup, give as much info as you can about the kit and the power adder )
boost/shot (if you’re a boosted car and know the peak boost, post it up. If you’re running nitrous, post the jet size)
other mods (intake mani? lw rotors? FMIC/SMIC? etc.)
other info (any weight reduction done? tire size? density altitude if you know it…however DA corrected times are never going on this list, but it is always interesting to know in extreme cases if a car ran at say -1000 feet, or +6000 feet)

[tweetss4estate]

I think that catless doesn’t clearly imply straight pipe, that there could be an expansion in the pipe where cats were or could have been. Also, different down pipe makers have different bends and meet with the exhaust differently. They are A R design 3" downpipes. I think that is relevant.

It’s pretty clear what it refers to b/c the exhaust diameter is also mentioned.

I’m just trying to help, not trying to prove you wrong. I think it’s a good idea to mention maker of DP and size. That would be clear and give people an idea of who’s product was on the said car.

That’s a good point. I didn’t get the ARD info…thought it was all custom.

[tweetss4estate]

No, yeah, I didn’t mean to come across like that I was just suggesting help. AR design is not ARD. Two different companies.
