Wow, looks like a lot happened today while I was busy…
Lets start here and work our way down.
I know Tony for a few years now, and he literally is so overly anal with his car that most of the “issues” he posts about are nothing. Literally things I would hear and not pay any attention to Tony is usually flipping out about…
Tony’s car is a strong running RS4. I saw it dyno over 310whp on a Dyno Dynamics and I’ve seen him do multiple pulls with cars that are pretty good matches with RS4’s and Tony has done well.
Most recently I saw him run my buddy’s 2008 E63 Sedan. Tony was losing to it by tops 1/2 car. That’s a fast car and Tony did exceptionally well…
Saki:
I really don’t understand where your coming from to be honest. We’ve had a pretty colorful past, and I can admit that in the past I was indeed wrong most of the time but this time I got to step in and stop this RS4’itis you’re suffering from. I agree with just about 90% of the things you post, and your honesty is something I really respect but anytime you post about JHM or an RS4 that honesty changes.
The times you keep posting about in regards to JHM RS4’s have every JHM mod possible.
Right from the 1/4 mile list these are the mods listed for the top two JHM cars.
JHM Stage 4 Clutch Kit- $1750
Shifter Trio- $480
JHM F+R Lightweight rotors- $1310
K&N Drop in Filter- $50
JHM Catback- $1750
JHM Downpipes- $1050
Intake Spacers- 250
JHM Crank Pulley- $400
That’s a total of $7,040.00 and those are the Group Buy most updated prices of JHM’s website.
So you quoting a Piggy/Tune RS4 going dead even or pulling on a Stage 2 B8 S4 on pump is nonsense. The fastest piggy/tune RS4 went 12.54@109.79. JNaut went faster than any other N/A RS4 on the stock tune however he’s got more money in LW mods and other stuff than probably just having a tune and full bolt ons- his fastest time is 12.26@112.98mph. All the other JHM cars are slower than that time and all around 111-112 traps on 93.
So a piggy RS4 with a tune seems to be coming in at 12.5ish at around 110mph…
Just for reference my dads B8 S4 on 93 with Tune/Intake/Catback went 12.27@112.11mph. My B8 S4 with full bolt ons went 12.1@115.67mph. Prime went 11.93@116.99, and there are 14 other B8 S4’s on 93 pump running faster than 12.5 on the AR 1/4 list. These are all 93 pump times, no race gas. I can’t even tell you the last time my car or Tsivas’ has been on race gas. My dads has never once had anything better than 93 in the tank…
So you’re the delusional one after all.
Here’s my mods list off my old B8 S4. That car went 12.1@115.6mph on pump and 11.88@117.9 on 104.
GIAC Stage 2 Software- $1200
AWE Pulley- $549
Roc Euro Intake- $320
APR CPS- $1000
034 Testpipes- $400
AWE Catback- $1700
AWE Downpipes- $500
Roc-Euro Shifter- $120
FX400- $700
That’s a total of $6489. So indeed less than a JHM RS4 which Saki would like us all to believe costs $500 to mod and becomes a low 12 second B8 killer.
Now on to tonight. My new S4 has GIAC Stage 2 Beta V1 (15.4PSI), AWE Catback and Roc-Euro Intake.
First we started off with my buddies Golf R. He’s got United Motorsports Stage 2 93 Flash, Evolution Motorsports Intake, APR High Pressure Fuel Pump, Full Scorpion Catless Exhaust. This setup is proven for 12.5-12.8 at around 104-107. I drove the car, and drove it flawlessly. Shifts were around 35-40m/s per Vbox. I did 4 pulls with Tony’s RS4. Tony pulled about 1/2 car down low and by 130 he’d have a little over a car and a half on me.
Then we let the cars cool off. My car vs. Tony. We did 2nd gear 45mph pulls. Both runs I had him by 4-5 cars. I then raced Tsivas and he pulled on me by almost 2 cars in the same scenario.
