Agreed sak.
Re the dragstrip, these guys need to go
Tsivas27 (B8 S4)
Ny07rs4
Tony RS4
They all live in long island so are full of reasons not to go because it is so far. If you guys can get in on a private track rental that might work well. Test and tune days are packed in the northeast.
Update everyone… I’ve ditched the unitronic tune without any testing… I just don’t care anymore.
I’ve decided instead to run stock for a few weeks before I switch to JHM tune so I can have a true instant evaluation of how the jhm tune improves the overall feeling of the car. Not that I have doubts, I just wanna be able to describe better how blown away I get ;). I’ll have the tune setup this weekend and will give a good description there.
Might be an idea to log and pbox your car before and after getting tuned. I’m not sure it would work to test immediately after…as in minutes after…but maybe a few days after. I am not sure how close (or not close) you are to Ny07RS4 and Tsivas, but would be cool to test it.
Same for your exhaust…would be neat to see how your car stacks up. Ny07RS4’s car is putting down some impressive acceleration considering it’s barely modified. Has a few lw parts and stock exhaust for the most part.
that’s actually a great idea… I’m up to meet them and do some pulls before I do the tune. And before I get the jhm exhaust again… I know I know.
lol
stick with what you’ve got for a while exhaust wise and see how it goes. You might find it’s able to give you a great performance option along with the sound you like best once you get everything together.
I think the problem is the only performance testing we saw for the RS4 in the past 4 years was a few pulls you and richi and 91 did…and mickf29’s disastrous dragstrip passes. It was tough to say what worked, and what didn’t work.
Now that we have a dozen RS4s making quarter mile passes we can see what configurations are delivering delta and how the car responds. For example on a day with great density altitude (-1200 or so) Mistro ran a time that was faster than any M90 supercharged RS4 or S4 time ever. He went 12.4 @ 113.7…with piggies, intake spacers, h pipe and coilovers lol. no tune. no catback. no downpipes. no lw parts.
There’s huge upside in the car. 2013 will be a BIG year for the bolt on parts RS4 record book…not to mention the SC cars we should see come online (JHM and AMD).
Hey how far are you from Long Island? Def down to help u out pre and post mods with pbox etc.
Let’s try and set something up with Paul and Tony. They are usually game for any festivities. The more RS4s the merrier.
sorry for stepping in… :-X
For those of you who are tuning are you using Kess, Byteshooter, Euro 090, or CMD?
Just wondering??
lol
