Were you running that "Ultra Torque" KO3 chip when you ran your BLISTERING 14.297?

More importantly, at what RPM and for how long?

Default I was definately impressed with the smoothness of your car last week ..

Neck snapping .. I doubt it. But its surely the strongest K03 powered A4 i've been in. Looking forward to seeing your next dyno for comparison.

Cmon! Neck cnapping is good motoring journalism! Allow me some poetic licence!

Default Well since the dyno pak they were using was all messed up

for every car they tested, my #'s were more then all the K04's. ED's Stage 3 and my car both put down 160's at the wheels. What was nice was that I did not lose any tq or hp on my 2nd run that was done right after my first and all they had was one little fan blowing on the fmic.

My dubwar runs were around 14.7's in those 108 deg temps and the same temps during my dyno runs.

Default The one that was dyno tested at dubwar 2001 was the one that ran 14.5-14.6's at carlsbad.

I did not get the "14.29" chip from Garrett till sunday morning (bracket day) of the NHRA drags at pomona late OCT 2001 in 102 deg temps.

Default So what was your point then? Obviously there was something wrong with the S3 car...

..considering we're making <b>2</b>60 whp without any other engine related mods except an exhaust.

Jon was having a chuckle at the use of "explosive power" in reference to a KO3 - a justified chuckle, IMHO.

Default Some thing wrong with the 2000 test car that was owned by the employee ED?

Please try again. As I already stated, the problem was with the dyno and what setting the people put in that were operating it. This is why APR decided to put ed's car on the dyno after they saw the low #'s put down by all the cars including mine. The car before which happend to be a drag car, said that his dyno run that day was well off since he had it dyno tested just the week before the event.

Default So you're saying the dyno was messed up...

but even though it was messed up, your numbers are still OK to compare?
