Default APR Stage3 shift points?
I did a little searching and couldn't find anything concrete, anyone got any pointers? I'm used to a FWD 1.8T stage2 a4 and am going to try a Quattro 1.8T stage3 a4 at the strip this weekend... looking for pointers on launch technique and shift points? Car has an upgraded clutch and LWFW by the way. TIA

Default haha, i dont want to break ****
6k launches definitely don't work w/ FWD... just end up spinning tires

Default Hold the throttle to the floor, and side step the clutch..
shift at redline.

Yeah, spinning wheels off the launch in a FWD will get you to 8,000 RPM's in .5 seconds. :-D

Default It was a joke.
I doubt if it would bog at redline just dumping the clutch, probably would roast the clutch, or break something.

Rev up to 5K+ (don't hold) then drop the clutch while going WOT.

Default Yep, as long as the clutch is up to the task.
Won't be easy for someone coming straight from FWD with limited quattro launch time though.
