That thread was classic audizine armchair quarterbacking. You have a bunch of teenagers telling you that your tune is whack… A tune written by someone who has been tuning cars longer than those teenagers have been alive, much of which while working for a major automaker.
Awesome
Hey are you ever going to hit up Sacramento raceway or anything?
100% yes. I want to sooner than later. I would love it if the guys at jhm would keep me in mind for when they go. I am a virgin at the track. But I will go alone if necessary. It is about a 2.5 hour drive though. No excuses, just saying.
I’ve been and plan on going again within the week, which could possibly be tomorrow or Wed or next Friday. I think we have another nice patch of weather coming in.
Times won’t be shared yet… but I won’t go run and hide either so don’t worry.
Launching around 3300, southbend SS stage 3 endurance with a lightweight single mass unit. I could likely launch a little higher to improve my 60ft. Current 60ft times are lethargic at the the 2.0-2.1 mark.
I also went about two months ago, had a bushing issue with my shifter which has since been fixed. Coincidentally met another avant out there with rs6 turbos the same night. He had similar times and traps which haven’t been shared. The pics are attached to show I have been making appearances, documentation will follow… on my terms! Haha.
you bugger…can’t tease us like that. Just kidding. You can do what you want of course. You’re not selling nothing.
Are you happy with the trap speed at least? That’s really all that matters early on. The ET will get better as you get better.
Could we bug you to strap your GOPRO on as well? Maybe have someone film with their iPhone from outside? Would be interesting to hear how the car does between gears and listen to the engine.
If you’re not wanting to stress your shit out, just do whatever makes sense and feels safe (launching wise). Don’t worry too much about it. If you are around 3000-3300 you might run into throttle limiter on the B5 that holds the car back till 4000 RPM. That’s why it’s coming out lethargically. If you’re not into boost yet, don’t forget you’re basically launching an all motor 2.7 litre V6. a.k.a. you’re making not much torque down at those speeds.
as long as by the 60 foot mark you’re near redline and shifting into 2nd, everything should be nice from there onwards. The slip will tell a lot about how the car is doing.

Hey man! Are you going with RS6r’s? I haven’t read this thread so excuse me if you already posted it. I’m thinking when my K04s decide to let go or if I just pull my engine some day I’d put these in.
