Fastest Supercharged C7
Just wanted to make an official thread, but I believe we broke a few records with our 2015 A8 C7, we went a best of 9.74 @145.9 MPH
-Fastest Supercharged C7
-Fastest Stock Short Block
-Fastest 8 speed Automatic
We appreciate the help and support we received from some of the other vendors.
We are hoping to get back out there soon with a looser than stock converter and continue to improve our personal best.
Mods:
2015 A8 Z51
ECS 1500 base kit with 3.75 pulley making 13.5#
ARH 1 7/8" no cats with stock NPP mufflers
Alky control meth kit
JTM Custom cam (very small for stock converter)
E85
M/T 18" DR's
Eveything else is 100% stock including, suspension, shortblock, heads, transmission & converter.
Please enjoy the video
Thanks

I'm curious on the e85 setup. Is it just the flex fuel kit with full e85 in the tank? Or did you guys upgrade the fuel system?

A cam is considered Valvetrain, when we say stock short-block we mean Cylinder Block, Pistons, Connecting Rods & Crank. Also except for Valve spring it has Stock Cylinder heads as well. When we had the stock cam in the car we ran a best of 10.3's @ 137..

I'm not worried. I have a similar setup being put in my 15. No cam and not looking for crazy boost numbers. I've been reading and it looks like keeping it under 700 RWHP, the stock motor should handle it. Obvioulsy some performace shops are looking to really push the envelope on the stock bottom end but I susepct them repalcing a motor, if needed, is not that big a deal.
My suggestion is just be realistic when planning your build. If looking to get into the 9's, you're not most likely not going to have the longevity on the stock bottom end or other stock components.

Not sure if I'm reading this right but just tuning the engine voids the powertrain warranty. If you blow an engine, the dealer MUST send the ECM data to GM. GM will find the tune and will then put a warranty block on your powertrain.

I was responding to the OPs claim that this car had a stock shortblock.
In my opinion, once the cam is changed, the engine isn't stock anymore, even though we call know that the cam affect on the DI fuel pump made the cam change necessary for fueling.
Regardless, strong combination and runs.

How does adding a cam "void" a block?...
"But, doesn't a cam void the stock short block ?????"
Did you mean it can no longer be considered stock because he modified the engine?
Probably just me, long week
EDIT: Ooops, read up a few posts. I see what you meant and it was answered. Sorry.
Nice numbers with this combo JTM!

I never mentioned warranty and no one was discussing warranty.

You're beating a dead horse.
It's called a rotating assembly.
Personally, I would never used the word "stock" block/engine in the same sentence with a cam, but that's just me.
