THE CAR SOUNDS AMAZING!!!! SINCE I GOT IT FRIDAY I BEEN SLOWLY DRIVING IT AROUND, BUT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND TODAY...I BEEN HITTING THE GAS A LITTLE MORE.....WOW! THIS IS SO DAMN POWERFULL!
I BEEN TAKING IT EASY(NO WOT YET) BECAUSE THE CAR IS RUNNING ABOUT 13% RICH AND NOT ONLY WAISTING LOT OF GAS BUT A SLITE WICCUP. I ONLY TEST HALF THROTTLE AND MAN....THE POWER IS THERE!!! IM JUST AFRAID I'LL BRAKE SOMETHING SINCE IS NOT FULLY TUNE. DO TO MY JOB SCHEDULE I'LL BE GETTING TOGHETHER WITH MY TUNER WEDNESDAY 1ST THING IN THE MORNING JUST TO ADJUST AT LEAST THE FUEL INJECTORS; IF WE GOT TIME MAYBE FULL TUNE.

Not TUNE yet!
Well, actually my tuner went to the shop and work the computer a bit with my set up before braking it apart....maybe he forgot to tune the BIGGER injectors and it is throwing the engine check light and my mechanic found out that is Approx 13% rich. He couldnt erase the code so either way my tuner is back so he'll tune
wednesday!



LAST MINUTE UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have a check engine light for the rich condition, its triggered when you go -20% LTFT's. The injectors are 39 or 40 and the stockers were 32.5. 20% richer is about right but then you may have had positive long term fuel trends before the install. You should not be driving it that rich.

Default Results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thats some power!!!
Remember its a A4 2.73
And the temperature was 195-200 on the dyno runs
Seem like we put too much coolant last week.
Car running too warm even with the 170 Thermo and fans adjusted. Mike Norris said We can get another 10HP/Trq with the timing and lower temp but I only had 1-2 hours of dyno do to my schedule. So I will drain and refill for proper mixure.
Other than that.......WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



OH! !! not even counting the additional HP from the Vararam while rolling!!!!
