First 1/4 mile rin with the S3

[selp]

Let me know what you guys think!

2016 Audi S3 - Glacier White.
Mods - Spacers (17.5mm back). Launch Control enabled (4000rpm)
I let the transmission do the shifting for me.
Elevation is around 3075 ft.

In case is not obvious.. I am Right lane.

I am currently waiting for the Unitronic tune release of my ECU, so I can go S2.
I am tempted to go S1 first, check times, then go S2 and check times again just for fun. I hope to get low 12 second pass when the car is tuned. Fingers crossed!

you should be able to easily hit the low 12s easily with stage 1 (12.2 was by best Stage 1 run). You might be able to push into the high 11s if you have enough supporting mods (intercooler, turboback, intake)

Also, you should post this slip to the official quarter mile thread!

What's the other car?

i just assumed it was some type of land rocket or missile with that 60' time.

[selp]

I was hoping Stage 2 with supporting mods to give me low 12s. It would be amazing if I can hit that, and I wouldnt believe it for a while if I was hitting high 11s.
I was planning on doing full turbo back (to get the extra 10-15hp of the catback, and allow for the 91 crappy octane in the engine to perform slightly better. I was either going to do an intake, or the free intake mod, whichever seems feasible at the time. But I was more interested in the Intercooler/Turboback combo. Arizona heat can be detrimental for HP cars.
Seems that people are getting good results with BOV, I am not sure how much it helps..

To answer about the other car:

Old box mustang with a built small block. It was a test and tune, so you lined up and raced against whoever is next to you. Big tires, big smoke, loud. Makes me miss my 750whp Evo IX. Oh well.

We have that up here in NH and I've seen some serious fox body mustangs. One popped a wheelie off the line and still ran a 10 flat.

oh and why are you stuck with 91? do you not have 93 in your region?

Yes sir. Stuck with 91 octane.
Arizona/California piss gas.

So much for the low 12s pass uh? haha

[Stam4765]

yeah that's rough. i can't even get 91 if i tried.... it's all 93 here with a few stations that have 104.

Thats a great time considering your elevation. Everyone has seem to over look that.

That's a very good point. Sea level with some 94 and a little bit of luck you might be able to run a 12.9

[selp]

I understand elevation, I can go to Phoenix, Az and get to about 1800 ft, which would bring me down to low 13s, and like you said, a bit of luck into the high 12.9's.
I just hope that 100whp more with the car (once tuned), will yield the expected results that I've seen around here. Mostly of low 12's. Fingers crossed! I just got to wait for Unitronic now..

Where the hell is Hell City AZ? lol. Here in Phoenix, I ran 12.38(see official Qtr thread) on GIAC stage 1, with E85 blend & 91 Octane. 4200ft+ DA(due to hot summer temp). My buddy(Project A3) ran a 12.3x with full air ride system and heavy 3 piece wheels with GIAC stage 2, The new owner(A20V200) of my S3 will prolly do 11's when he comes back down from Prescott. He upgraded to Stg 2 with IC. You should look us up when you come down to phx.

haha someone from Arizona! quick.. shake hand.

There is rarely anyone from Arizona around these forums, so I call it Hell City (Tucson).
I am glad that cars are performing well. I am waiting on Unitronic Stage 2 ECU and DSG. I will have a downpipe and intercooler installed. Hopefully that helps me get into the low low 12s or maybe even high 11s. After that, I guess it'll be smaller mods.
What was your blend of E85/91? That might be a cheap way of keeping things happy with the car. I just would hate to run 91 octane without E85 and have issues. You care to comment on this?

Nice to meet ya. Yes, there are a lot of S3s here in PHX that are fast. Stage 2 on E85/91 blend with DP & Intercooler should definately get you to the 11's, even in Tucson!

You'll need to confirm this with Unitronic, but with GIAC, you need to run exactly 4 gallons of E85 with balance in 91, then you to run their race file(100 octane race gas file). It's a bit of a pain cause you have to run the tank down to just about empty before doing the blend again, otherwise you throw the ratio off.

You got another from Arizona, I'm in Tucson, or Hell as you refer to it. I just got my S3 a couple weeks ago.

S3's are coming out of the woodwork here in Arizona....! Sweet

[selp]

Lets keep them coming! I live on the east side.
I have a VCDS cable in case anyone needs to rent it!

[JOaks24]

Cool. I'm new to the area, but I guess I'm kinda North. Like River La Cholla area.

We get together for Drag nights(Friday nights once a month or so) at the WildHorse Pass raceway, and road course track events(Once a month or so) at different tracks around the PHX area. PM me with your info and we'll invite everyone to the next event!
