weekend, which should bring him to about 215hp and 250lb/ft. you guys think he would own me if we went from a roll? i cant imagine me beating him considering my car weighs 3700 freakin pounds and only has 35 more hp! thanks guys

neh hes not big at all... could someone please remind me of recommended shift points for stock ECU.
i shift at 6500 for every gear right now. am i slowing myself down? i figured since the KO3s die out by redline, and our cars have more hp than torque, it would be better to shift a little before redline.. TIA!

It would be close. From a dig you'd kill him because of AWD v. 2WD but...
from a roll would be closer. Probably a driver's gamble.
I haven't run any GTI's in person so I'm not the one to answer but but based on their numbers (low 14s @100mph with the 215hp setup) in the quarter, it looks pretty similar to a stock S4.

raced the same exact car when i was stock....
gti 337 with apr chip. We race from a roll and i pulled about a half car length before we had to shut down. I highly suggest you get a chip and blow his doors off 
At least thats what it did.

My friend has one, weighs over 3000 with him in it. He's about a 175lbs guy.
We raced from a 2nd gear roll when I was stock. He has a chip, exhaust, intake...he would immediately pull 1/2 car when in 2nd, but by the end of 3rd I would catch up and almost put 1/2 car on him.
If we went from a stand still I would have got him easily by 1-1.5 cars at around 80-90mph.
I haven't raced him now that i'm chipped...i'm sure it'd be ugly.

Keep in mind your stock torque curve is artificially flat while his chipped one will have a peak.
250 ft-lbs torque on a stock S4 is not the same as 250 ft-lbs torque on a chipped 1.8T. It's area under the curve that counts.
