Thanks Rhonda, glad we decided to give it another shot! Fantastic service as always.

Thanks Chris, let's hope they let you back on the track...you smoked 'em last time
What was your 60' time? - 1.70 (interestingly it was 1.68 on my 10.8sec run! Tells me the car just kept pulling through the 1/4 mile...exactly what the Level 2 package is designed to do, additional TQ through the rpm range!)

How much boost do you run now on the stg 2tune? 1.55 bar (approx. 22psi I think). Is there a way to confirm more accurately? Would Durametric logs indicate this?

Looking forward to seeing your finished product! Getting a baseline is a great idea! I believe "time trials" at Englishtown Raceway are only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We would have to check their calendar for availability, as some Saturdays are closed for NHRA sponsored events.

Thanks Longboarder. I will definitely try lower tire pressures and race gas the next time out. On the R888, they are great track/street tire but I have no plans to grab a set. I am mostly a street/casual driver and the increased tire noise, less than optimal all-weather performance (vs. PSS/PS2) and faster tire wear all but rule out the R888s for me. I had PSS previously, switched to PS2 and will likely revert back to PSS when these are worn. These drag events are fun but I have to live with the car the other 99% of the time...LOL sacrificing a tenth or two here & there is ok with me!

 

Thanks Bogg. Rhonda and FVD have been great, I didn't hesitate to pass along FVD's information to another TTS owner who asked yesterday which tune I had, as his stock 2012 TTS w/ sharkwerks x-pipe couldn't crack 11.1 secs at the Raceway (as mentioned in other threads there are so many variables to achieving a solid 1/4 mile time).

Him and his buddies thought my car was fast, I assured them that there were faster TTS' out there

 

I'm still amazed at what the .2tt can do on pumpgas. Truly impressive. But for me the 3rd pedal is mandatory. Until I get older, lol.

 

Akunob/Chris: Tomorrow is "Ratchet Friday's- All street muffled vehicles welcome"

 

Ratchet Friday's is actually a good time and perfect for us to run. Those nights get a lot of really cool cars. If my exhaust comes tomorrow, I'll be there.
If not, then maybe we can get together in the next coming week since there is no exhaust on my car whatsoever.
Did you go catless or high flow cats with your new exhaust?

 

If it's open, I'm in! I will likely be there after 8pm (have a standing commitment on Fridays 6:00 - 7:30pm)! See you there.

 

Cool. I hope it comes in.

I have both. Cats for the street. Cat bypass for offroad.

Right now I'm running my stock exhaust but I'll run it for the hell of it and go again when my exhaust comes in.

 

If I went it prob wouldn't be until about 8 as well. I'll keep you guys posted.

I was thinking, you don't have intercoolers right? Are they recommended for the stage 2?

 

Cool. I will probably arrive about 8 too.

 

No intercoolers, I'm on the stock 997.2 I/Cs. I/C aren't required for FVD's lvl 2. Car is 100% stock but for the tune, exhaust and plenum.

 

997.2 intercoolers are underrated. Might be worth a little power to swap for something with more flow, but they cool VERY well.

 

Agreed Rix.

 

They sell some off the shelf stage 3 kits that include turbos, headers, exhaust etc. I'm using their turbos and 70mm exhaust with 100 cell cats but otherwise have most of the champion bolt on stuff (intercoolers, werks1 hoses, carbon y-pipe and plenum, GT3 throttle body, filter). FVD did a custom level 3 tune based on my mix.


I've been watching your build progress and checking my mirrors Interested to see how the 68s perform. I thought about getting those inlet tubes but will wait for the carbon ones from Champion. Hope we get a chance to compare setups. No numbers at the moment but I'll get some.

 

Looking good! Bring her out to Pocono Oct. 19 for some roll racing (grab a discount code from undercover)

 

Now there's a thought...I do have an open invitation from Garth! Sunday's in the Fall and Spring don't generally work for me, schedule wise, but I'll see if I can swing it.
