Don't drive the car too much right now, just giving it a rest( its 100 miles round trip to work everyday). I do get to drive it a little on the weekends.
I am debating going to the Audi Club, nationals in November at Sears Points(Infineon Raceway), or go to Laguna Seca with the BMW Club, or Laguna Seca with the Audi Club in February.
Car is doing fine, I think they did underate the tranny somewhat. Have 52k miles "chipped" and no problems. And that is with 30 runs at a drag strip, 50 runs with Gtech, and 8 days at the track.
The O.CT K04's are working perfectly. The Software is fine, its still running as I wanted - detuned - only .9bar, but still around 360HP and 350lbs. I did purchase a spare tranny from a S4 for $1000,(couldnt pass that up : ) ) and am still waiting to hear about an S4 Tips trouble with his Level 10 setup. Will wait till that gets cleared up before I have Level10 work on the spare tranny.
I am about through modding the car, I might put the Downpipes from Stratmosphere on soon. But other than that the car is setup perfectly for me and I can truly enjoy it, without thinking or getting caught up still in the "mod" race!! Its nice to just enjoy the car. I did suprise the heck outta a E36 M3 out of state car last week : ) on the freeway. went from 2 cars ahead to maybe 15??? by the middle/higher end of 4th. We had started at ~75-80mph. It was just slow and steady, not a visual route but after a little bit the distance just kept growing. Not like your monster!!!
Too bad you way on the other side of the landmass, would be nice to run in an event with you. Maybe take a vacation out here and have an event planned at Buttonwillow, Willow Springs or even Laguna Seca.

10-15 cars ??? At that distance you stop using car lengths : )
Yes it was the E36 M3, those have ~??? 240HP??. Wasnt a New E46 M3. That would have been much much closer and probably would have depended on who took out first.
The K04 flow better are more efficent than our stock K03's. You can run less boost and get the same or better performance in the 1/4 mile and up top there is no comparison between the K03's and K04's.

Only at the track. I have a video at Track showing me behind a Stage 2+ S4 and I kept up with it and was very slightly reeling it in down the back straight. Real real slow reeling in. That S4 runs 12.8's.
My car is detuned though. and its a Tip and its an A6. Its goes OK at highway speeds. I would think it would edge the Stage 2+ if it was a 70-160mph run , it would be real close but the higher we go I would breath better. The software I have in it, runs the .9bar all the way to 6900rpm, then it drops a little for the shift, then starts up again. Used a Vag Tool to see that.
1/4 mile a Stage 2+ S4 6 speed would kill me!!!!

Yes up top is where they have the edge. Some K04's like the O.CT K04 has a different pitch blade so that it spools up quicker than a regular K04. Putting it right behind the K03 as far as spooling. K04's are more efficient, you can run less boost and get the same or better performance. Less boost= less heat and thats a good thing.
