I need to correct the times that I posted yesterday. Using the calculator on the Drag Times website and the weather from the time slip,(yesterday I used their weather data) the corrected DA was 6413 ft. Which corrects my 13.88 @ 103.12 to a very respectable 12.764 @ 111.976 at sea level.

I checked out the area around 1:30 today, In n Out's parking lot was packed, but the lot SW of it had plenty of room. I the lot is just south of the Panda Express, there is plenty of places to eat right there. Chillies, Panda Express, In n Out. Not in that lot but near by is, Subways, Boston Pizza, eeggee's, Burger King and McDonalds. There is a movie theater also Tower Theatres.

How was the trip WLKXFTH? I put the Jan 30th meet list on the first page so its easy to find, let me know if you are coming. We will be meeting in the back lot behind Chillies.

Flynnaz...our trip was nice... and COLD

14 degrees this morning our poor car was frozen :( We didnt see one other Camaro in Flagstaff...So we got lots of attention. We will have to plan a trip with you and Tami on a long weekend. Did you guys have a good time at SRI? I sent Tami a text, but I guess she was working I didn't hear back from her.

Hey Flynn I got your card from my division supervisor (gray 05 Mustang) today. He had a great time talking with you guys. I guess he ran a 12.5 for 1/4 mile.

FLYNNZL1 · 01-18-2010, 03:34 PM

Wow that's cool, small world

armysig · 01-20-2010, 05:47 PM

Well boys and girls, as of today 426SS will not be available for your personalized plates...I just picked it up to go on my Veteran plates.

I should have it in about 3 weeks.

Glen, Can you please give us a complete review of the tune you installed?

Thanks

Well, overall I am very pleased with the Vector tune. (install problems aside)
The engine idles better, power is more even thru out the rpm range. Shifts are a little crisper (using the stage 1 TCM files). Car leaves a lot harder from a standing start. AFM drone has been reduced considerably. Even picked up 2 miles per gallon on in town driving. I would recommend this set up to anyone with an A6. Before going out to the drags on Feb. 6th, I will load the stock files back in, make 2 passes and then load the stage 2 TCM files, make another pass and then load the ECM files and do another. Kirk at Vector is interested to see the back to back comparison. He says that customers are reporting a 2 tenths gain just from the stage 2 TCM files alone. Should be interesting. By the way, they offered to split the towing bill.

FLYNNZL1 · 01-22-2010, 11:03 AM

Glen, that's great news. After reading all the diffrent posts on tunes, I do not know if I would gain a huge amount with a manual? I am diffently geting one for my Charger.

armysig · 01-22-2010, 11:13 AM

I'm not to knowledgeable about tuning devices, but wouldn't it give the m6 a higher rpm range vs stock? I think it time for me to do some research! !!
