Thanks again everyone, I haven't been on here in quite a while so I wanted to chime in.


Here is our video since it was not linked yet.






UPDATE: We also went 11.9 with a Tiptronic V8 S5 with our kit last month. So you can order those kits now as well since we had originally only released the manual transmission version. Video for these results coming soon. Last but not least we are in the middle of final testing of the intercooled version of the kit for adding to our stage 1 kit (straightforward install for existing kit owners) or buying as part of our future 1+ intercooled kit coming out soon. And yes there is the possibility of more, we try to build our kits scalable for budget and growth of the platforms.


On sale now here for Black Friday as well. -> https://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catal...ge-p-3432.html


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Will Tiptronic transmission hold stage 1+ torque and power levels? Or will it have to be upgraded?

So far with our testing with stage 1, it takes the power like a champ!

A customer getting some of his first passes under his belt with the S5. He got it down to the mid 12s same day.

Hey there Jake! I was the PO you bought this S5 from, glad to see the great progress that came out of it. Ear to ear grin came out of me stumbling upon this thread, keep up the solid work
