We're doing more inside the ECU than most tuners ;)

It was running unleaded 104, not sure where the C16 claim originated from.

The extreme file made 35 wheel horsepower and 87 wheel torque more than our current HO Race file (already the K04 quarter mile record holder). 395 wheel torque on our Mustang dyno, a stock GTI will...

Different tires? As long as you show baseline numbers on the same dyno, it is irrelevant that you are using a Mustang (we use the same dyno).

I suppose it doesn't technically have to remain stock, but it would require making a new housing that can mate up to the intake ports on the heads. Either way, there is a space limitation. I just...

It is being considered, but the supercharger housing has to remain stock. As such, it would require machining the stock housing. Because of this, there won't be any TVS2300 swaps, but a TVS1900 might...

Horsepower will see a decent increase, but I expect the torque to have the most noticeable increase. The low end power is greatly increased with the addition of the smaller pulley. We are just...

No, it is certainly no match for an upgraded turbo N54. It pulled a few of the stock turbo N54's that were running on race gas, but lost to the ones running E85 (Wedge beat it by a good margin).
...

We can't officially release the figures yet since the pulley isn't available yet. But Stage 1 put down 400-410 at the wheels on our Mustang dyno. This is more than the Stage 2 335i's we have dyno'd,...

From what the owner told us at the event:

- Vishnu piggyback (running "around 20 psi")
- Upgraded intercooler
- Upgraded downpipes
- Dual cone intake
- 100 octane fuel plus methanol injection

I guess Sacramento it is! We're shooting for December 15th if anyone wants to head up from So Cal.

I agree, and unfortunately we had one but when we got home the memory card had completely stopped functioning.

Thanks for the writeup Sticky!

Hey Terry,

Is Famoso open now? I was under the impression that they didn't have test and tunes in the winter, so we were planning on making the trip to Sacramento.

^fastgti69 Yes, I was in the B5 S4. I didn't see your car around, but we should definitely run if you come to the next one! I'm slowly uploading my videos to the GIAC YouTube, but the faster cars I...

Like I said earlier though, your car is VERY fast. It seems that a few people are getting down on Wedge's car because he was beat by an RB car, but that's not to say his car isn't one of the fastest...

Wedge it's kind of hard to compare the race with my S4 to yours with Sick335 because I missed fourth gear. I shifted cleanly when I raced him. The video shows it right there where I immediately start...

I had a great time meeting some of you guys at Shift Sector! Wedge's car is no joke, by far the fastest stock turbo N54 that I have been able to race. Unfortunately, I missed my 4th gear shift so we...

In response to the earlier question directed at me, and I apologize early for the length (I only have one post):


1. Yes, you must visit a GIAC dealer network to be flashed. While we try to have...

There are certain calibrations beyond the maps that simply must be modified at the calibrator level. It isn't feasible to expect an enthusiast to find, let alone reprogram these limitations. This is...

It would be nice to see this happen. We should be at Shift Sector, not sure if we will have any BMW's though. I'd like to get ER's 135i either there or to the 1/4 mile just for kicks, hopefully once...

Bob,

I'm not sure if you still have Austin's email, but feel free to send some logs over to him. I would mainly be interested in the Requested/Actual boost and WDC. Basically, the same BT...

I have the original logs that were sent to us when you had GIAC software. Your WDC was abnormally high for the levels of boost that were being requested. This is not something that we can alter...

Well here is my one response for now, so I suppose I have to make this post worth it!

Bob, frankly I knew this would come up. We did show you logs of cars with your exact same file, with no...

"I'm friends with two of the race teams that switched over from JB3 to GIAC years ago. It's not really about the on track performance. You need to realize these "race cars" are run by shop owners who...
