Some pics from our drag day

B6/7 S4/RS4

I don’t know for a fact but usually having fresh moving air and having the coolant system circulating and the oil circulating usually does a better job at cooling things off than sitting with the hood open and th eengine off. If you drive under 30MPH, crack the hood open but don’t release the latch. Not highly recomended but I’ve done this during auto cross events between class changes etc. It cooled off my BMW’s way faster than sitting still with the engine off.

So for the 1/4, maybe you can pop the hood right after you slowed down for the turn around and then continue driving slowly through whatever area is open/free until you are ready to stage again. Jsut a thought.

that second is in about a week as JHM gets down to supercharging Dan’s RS4. The expectations are pretty excellent. low-mid 12s and 120s and 500 whp. oh hi!

#31

no heads or intake? Just wait till he gets those

#32

moving at light load and low rpm is best, without the coolant/oil moving and air coming by it just sits and cooks. So if you can hotlap as much as possible as long as you arent heating up the clutch. Log iat throughout the runs, it should increase a bit but not drastically.

#33

Oh yeah he has an Intake. Forgot about that. I remember him saying something about FAST being his next mod? It must stand fr something and I’m not in the loop so I don’t know.
Here is his car a few weeks ago…the red camaro is an LS1. Not sure what he has done to it besides headers and SLP catback

oh my bad, by intake I meant an intake manifold… which would be what he means by a FAST. Ask him if its stock heads

#35

I fear what’s coming for the RS4. We’re seeing what 91gl is doing with his aggressive S4 program. I understand the laws of diminishing returns but how long til we see an 8E V8 in the low 11’s? Or will traction become an issue before that? Or broken axels/diffs? I don’t remember having seen what abuse the drivetrain can take.

#36

Are your expectations not very excellent? :wink:

#37

Lol sorry not 12s

#38

was looking at the videos again… those of us with stock suspensions look at our cars bounce on the start. that cant be good for the 60’!!!

#39

meh. I cut 1.82 and a bunch of 1.85-6-7 60 foot times in my S4 on stock suspension. I think Jaybquick’s B6 was on stock suspension too. I don’t think it’s your biggest concern.

Not sure about cabracco85…he’s the 60 foot master. If he’s on stock, you REALLY don’t have anything to worry about.

#40

cabracco has coilovers iirc, but iirc he sets them up for the track (dampening adjustments)

#41

Just talked to him. He said he has stock heads for now. Just looked up those IM’s. Wow you can really see where JHM is getting inspiration for all the parts for our cars. That’s awesome.

Just spend the alst hour looking at used Terminators…do want…so bad

#42

Termis are fucking spensive!!! looked at em over the summer…high 30’s low 40’s !!

#43

start a fucking domestic thread lol

^^^^^^ ummm jealous

#46

Nice snub mount!

#47

yeah, good to see your snub mount install is going well. Those guys should wrap that up before the end of tomorrow maybe? You can’t rush a snub mount, but they’re good over at Twins Auto on the Danforth. I’ve seen them bang out 3 snub mounts in ONE WEEK.

I’ve seen dparm band on out in 1 day!! Thats pro status right there
