Just make sure it isn't 3rd gear in a B6S4... will tear up the road really bad from the power.

I roll it on around 2.5k rpm...

for accurate FATS times I find that you need to have things settled (boost mainly) by 4k rpm. So, if you mash it too close to 4k, you may get some inaccurate results due to boost fluctuations which sometimes occur right after a pedal mash.

I just pray that a B6 S4 doesn't hit it in 3rd gear and warp time.

B6 S4 3rd gear is crazy fast. Most of them have wheel spin through out the gear.
