JUST CHIPPED

the forum got a little carried away with the honda vs audi thread and some good topics were lost in the shuffle...heres a recap of 6th gear timed runs for some of the chips we still need MTM,TAP, and WETT times...remember to also list any mods done to vehicle ie. exhaust, air filter etc!!!

6th gear 30-50mph 50-70mph
Stock 8.2 6.9
APR 7.2 5.3
GIAC 5.7 4.9
AUTOTHORITY 6.2 5.3
WETT ??? ???
MTM ??? ???
TAP ??? ???

hmm, APR looks like it could use some more low RPM power in comparison

6th gear timed runs... I will make mine this weekend. What about the 2-4K RPM timed run?

Stephen/APR

We will test our R&D car to come up with accurate numbers. The ones you list are inaccurate for many reasons. I will try to get those done today.

Thanks

Even 50-70 is only from 2000-2800; granted, that is a much more usable and used range of the RPM band, but it may also be a good idea to do 40-60 runs in the various gears (e.g., 2d, 3d, & 4th) like the European magazines do.

It show how flexable an Engine is

you obtain in 6th gear at 4000 rpm it's pushing a 100MPH. Please no one get a ticket or in an accident just to post some times.

The 30-50 and 50-70 are easier to do, not to mention more safe.

Drive at your own risk, but not at the expense of proving a point that your chip is better or faster.

Happy SAFE driving.

'Those are inaccurate APR numbers'says "YOU" But I think it needs to come from an independant source

I dont think a chipped S4 would be much faster than stock in those ranges. Besides, i dont think its healthy to even do such a thing to an engine.

Also, why base acceleration tests only on low rpm power? Some chip may have a weakness in that area, but may be superior in others. And that may be what a potential customer wants.

Sometimes numbers do not tell the whole story.
