A fun story (with picture and logs) to break the quarantine monotony...
I found a shop that only lets one client in at a time and he is the only other person in the shop. So how could I NOT dyno it? I really needed something to do, I need to get out of the house!
A quick forward, my mod list below is what I was running for the dyno, although I would like to point out that this is the "safe e30" tune and Matt is working on a "track" tune. I just couldn't wait to see what the numbers were showing and like I said, this seemed like a great idea to get out of the house, and see how it stacked up.
Here are the results:
1 - 397/448
2 - 369/445
3 - 352/447
Now one other thing to note, I would like everyone to know that I insisted on a pull in 3rd gear, even though he wanted to do them all in 4th. The first one is in 3rd, the other two are in 4th, he was surprised to see he was getting to 160MPH for the 4th gear pulls and I remembered someone saying that you could hit that in 4th, so it was better to do the pulls in 3rd, so I'm wondering if that limited the last two pulls more than the heat soak did. Although, there is a pretty good amount of heat soak in the pulls, but if you are hitting a limiter then from what I understand it limits it. ;D
Also, has anyone with similar mods ran down the track? Just wondering ballpark numbers, if you missed my intro, I have a 2018 Audi S5 to beat!
