Ran my 2017 A8 for the first time last night. Car had 800 miles on it. Have the Borla mid pipe, ported tb, Green filter in stock air box and drag radials.

Got up to 5* of kr. via my HP Tuner. Apparently the Green filter flows pretty good leaning my fuel. Never got kr on the street with the stock filter. And without tuning to turn the fan on sooner my intake manifold temps got up to 153*.

But maybe not too bad of a pass considering.

Damn that thing is moving. Nice pass.

Thanks! I never ran this high of speed with either of my other C6s and they had tons of mods. This car for almost stock is amazing compared to cars of yesterday.

Good job! What was DA?

DA was -430. 53* ambient.

Wow! I wonder what it would do with a higher stall converter.

I would have to think it would help but just getting the throttle 100% open at launch would help too. Takes until 32.3 mph before it was 100% open. Of course tuning would fix that hopefully along with faster fan speed to get those temps down.

First column is vehicle speed, second engine oil temp, then tranny fluid temp, manifold air temp (IAT2) too high, fan speed too slow, engine rpm, engine coolant too high and throttle % open 100% at 32.3 mph.

Looked back at one of my 08 C6 passes and throttle was 100% open at less than 1 mph. Can really feel this hesitation at launch with the 2017.

First column is mph, oil temp, tranny temp, manifold temp, fan speed, rpm, engine coolant temp and throttle position.

What mods were on your c6? I've been thinking of ditching my GTO for one and would be on a quest for 10's.

Wow, what a pass.

I had about every bolt on I could buy along with a 3200 stall converter and 3.15 gear. Lot of mods and didn't even get as fast as this 2017 almost stock and with no tuning.

Thanks!

Sorry, the DA was -843. Someone told me at the track it was -430.

Very impressive!

Thanks! I am pretty happy with the cars performance.

Congrats! That is moving out. I am sure the great DA is not hurting the ET any.

Is it okay for the trans temp to be only 123 deg during WOT runs?

Thanks! A low DA definitely helps.

Not sure on the tranny temp. I know in cool air you would have to drive a long way to get it much more than about 125*. It just doesn't seem to warm idling. And I did that for about an hour in the staging lanes but with the engine off some of the time.

Seems like a strong pass with all the nannies lurking in the pcm. If you can get those worked out through tuning it should definitely show on the next time slip.

Larry

iTrader: (4)

Thanks! Yes, probably more in the car if I wasn't concerned about warranty. With it 32 mph before going WOT I feel there is more 60' in the car.

And thats something because that is already a nice 60ft time for being stock (and on reduced power). I wonder, getting all the throttle is surely gonna start giving some traction problems? Or is there a good traction control program built into the car that could manage the new found power? Or maybe a set of tires in in your future.......

Nice job!

I had Hoosier drag radials on the car when I ran this. Not sure they were even needed as soft as it launches.
Thanks!
