Ugghhhh, wrote all that on my phone.
My grammar and some spelling is off. You get the jist.
Ron cannot wait, I am STOKED. There are no cars around here other than domestics, my buddies 2001 Viper GTS is my current target. He has run an 11.6-11.7 at 117-119 consistently. We are extremely close when I am running race tune.
Can’t wait to see the results from the track day.
Jones, do you still have tire issues like you mention on azine?
welcome to the site ice cream. Can you check our quarter mile list and make sure the numbers we have for you are right?
Where are you…sarnia…? Ever coming to TMP?
I think it’s awesome you’re running 104 tune timing on pump/meth. Pretty ballsy.
He’s in Michigan I thought. Works at Chrysler in Windosor-Essex. Goes to St Thomas Raceway.
I always want to arrange a trip to St Thomas for something different.
Ice Cream, at first I thought you were tuning your own car for meth. Had it totally wrong, as you can see a few posts into the ‘I’m going to tune my own car’ thread when primetime corrected me. FYI that is now the TESLA Model S spotted thread.
Otherwise, I don’t think there’s any confusion within the group here about what your intentions are/were. I just think the guys weren’t all that impressed with the times.
Certainly there’s an improvement with the race file (to be expected) however your ET and MPH aren’t really revolutionary (pardon the pun) so that’s where the less than enthusiastic response came from. Hopefully in better DA at Thompson you can set a new GIAC race file record.
I am a little upset no one invited me to the party. Being as unbiased as this place is I figured you guys would want to talk to me first hand, 
Ill be honest, this forum I already love much more than Audi-zine, this is my first Audi so I didn’t know this forum existed.
Lets clear some things up before we go any further, lot of misinformation flying around here. I will make a timeline of events.
First Quarter Mile Pass Ever(got one run in and started raining) Late October 2012
45 Degrees out, negative DA(perfect conditions)
Stock tune
AWE Exhaust
APR Intake
13.1 @ 105.9 I believe
2nd Pass(best run of 3)
85+ degrees out with a DA over 2600
Stock Tune
Roc Euro Intake
Euro-code Headers
AWE Exhaust
12.9 @ 105.6/9
Make your own conclusions from that.
OK Now that those are out of the way, you guys seem to be confused about what I am doing with my methanol.
THAT’S IT - MY ONLY GOALS
Fast forward to first set of runs with methanol
93 tune GIAC Stage II full bolts on - METHANOL OFF
12.4 @112 I believe(you guys have seen slip)
Methanol ON Still on 93 tune
12.3 at 113.6 or something it was less than a MPH increase.
Lets think, same tune, same parameters, back to back, why would the car be any faster? Methanol has less PE than gasoline, the car might not have had time or the brains to add timing in a back to back situation. So Arin’s comments about not much of an improvement are true, but out of context. Of course there wouldn’t be much of an improvement.
THEN
104 Tune with 93 in tank, car runs 12.1 at 116.5 I believe, I provided a full graph of that run, it shows the car short shifting first at only 5300RPMS!!! The slip ALSO shows that out of the runs performed that night, my 104 tune pass had the crappiest 60’, combined with a short shift into 2nd at 5300 which surely screwed my 2nd gear pull, I think is pretty good guys.
Improvement? Yes, for what I intended to do.
Future
I have been talking with Ron and he is one great guy! I cannot wait to meet him and see what are babies can do. Oct 12 is our date.
This will allow for some good runs between me and Ron.
Hopefully we can get some highway runs in to see what the upper limits of these cars are capable of.
I have to get going but more to follow.
Happy Hunting Boys!
Jeff, Welcome to the forum! Again, I apologize for not mentioning it sooner… Thanks for taking the time to state the timeline of events… I really look forward to making some passes with you and comparing the cars… Will be great for the B8 crowd to see how we both perform same day, same track, same time… Win or lose it will be a good experience for both of us, for the community and most of all it will be a fun time!
It’s the “fuck you Tesla” thread. Photos don’t count unless you’re flipping the bird.

Oh I know the times weren’t insane! However, people expect to show up to the strip and run amazing times, I know it takes a lot to get everything right. I have never actually run the car with race gas on race tune down the 1/4 mile. The one and only pass I did on the race tune spun hard, short shifted, and basically frustrated me lol.
To answer other question about my tires, yes. When the temp drops below 60 I can spin all 4 with a full tank of gas for a good 20-30’. Bald summer and cold temps don’t equal great traction, plus the OEM tires are stretched on 9.5 rims making them extra slippery.
My OEM peelers, with my Pirelli winters are going on next weekend, should do the trick, not light but better than current setup for cold temps, and not stretched.
I will have a video shortly of the tires ripping through first gear.
Glad to be on a non biased forum with what seems so far to be fairly intellectual users who don’t act like children.
Nice to see another set of headers on AR.
Looking forward to your showdown!
To clarify,
Born in Windsor
Parents live in Windsor
Girlfriend lives in Windsor
I live in Michigan
I attend Wayne state
I previously finished schooling in Windsor
I am a dual citizen who commutes the border daily
I love ethanol free 91 octane Shell V-Power currently using this gas with the 93 tune with a light spray of methanol.
One more clarification,
I DID NOT have a shift hang up, the car spun hard and shifted at 5400 RPMs approx. It either shifted while the car was spinning or just after it stopped.
I can 2nd this… If you get hard tire spin in the DSG it shifts 2nd.
Can’t wait to see the results from the track day.

We need an Awd audi burnout video contest.
