Default New guy from Tennessee

Hello everyone, I have finally realized my dream, a 2012 Grand Sport w/automatic. Velocity yellow. I've had it since Memorial day. Just had the E-Force 599hp supercharger installed, a new 3.42 Z-06 differential assy should be here tomorrow. It will be installed next week, kind of sad it requires a 500 mile break in period. I usually only drive it from here to Charlotte 6 or 8 times a year as I have a company car for work.
I do run to Memphis every now and then, that's where I grew up.

Well the new diff is in and it's finally programmed for the correct ratio.
I think there was a problem with the programmer, it took 5 days working with Eldelbrock to get it to function with the new tune. I guess I need to get the 500 mile break in period started, I am eager to test this bad boy out!!

I'm in Jackson, right on I40 between Nashville and Memphis. I drove it to Nashville yesterday for a meeting. It is now a joy to drive, at 70mph it's tacking 2,000rpms, that's exactly where I wanted it. I did lose a couple of miles per gallon, but that's not what I bought it for anyway.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I've a 2012 GS A6 as well. Please keep us posted on the Z06 rear installation. Sounds like a mod I may be interested in someday.
