    Another visit to the drag strip, different ecu flash

    Last year, I dragged the RS at the local 1/4 mile track and got a best of 12.7 at 108. This was with gutted cats and unitronic software, which was already flashed by the previous owner.
    This year, all I did was send my ecu to Marc and what a difference! Ran two consecutive 12.1 at 113 and 112 respectively. The launches were incredible as well.
    This car has stock intercoolers, and pump fuel.

    What I love most about Marc's tune, it's very consistent. With the unitronic, the extra boost heat soaked the intercoolers and the car for slower and slower by each run.

    Congrats. So far I've heard no negatives about Marc's tune. Would love to see some VAG logs 3, 31, 115 to see how it compares to some others if you get the chance.

    The time slip is waaay blurry.

    But a difference of over half a second and 5 mph trap on just a tune? Damn.

    Good job!

    Sorry for the semi-thread jack, but has anyone run an RS6 in any of the 1/2 Mile or Mile speed events that are popping up all over the country? I am a former RS6 owner and now have a 2013 TT-RS....just ran mine at the Georgia 1/2 Mile Shoot-Out...totally stock...did 130mph, with probably leaving 5 mph on the table with conservative launch and shifting points

    Really curious what an RS6 would do in a 1/2 mile!

    Its a fast tune, but nobody has ever posted logs detailing just how hot/lean it's running, would be interesting to see boost, timing, egt as mentioned.

    I did a best of 130 in the half during a hot day in the summer in the Florida panhandle at a half mile event. I also drove straight to the event and got in line. So there was definitely heat soak. I have done a standing mile on a deserted strip of highway in florida and Dave is right, both runs I was right around 170.

    12.1?!? What's the DA Pressure there? I have vipers tune, straight piped from the turbos back and fastest I ran was a 12.8 with a 2.1 60' at 2800 DA. Can't launch this turd to save my life, even with left foot braking! I have an intake and meth kit is getting installed as we speak! Gonna go to the track Oct. 18th and see what happens. Might run some logs and send to viper to see if there's anything else he can do. I want Marc's tune but no one has posted logs and the one guy I've talked to with it had to run logs and send it back a handful of times in order to it running ok.

    Viper could be a safer more conservative tune. There may also be some mechanical weaknesses on your car, maybe...plus elevation and heat will make a difference. Have you logged data or got on a Dyno?

    Havent logged in about a year, dyno'd on an AWD dyno jet last year and for 438hp with straight piped exhaust and viper tune. Gonna log and dyno again after meth kit is finished. All my seals have been checked, IC hoses replaced and ICs resealed about 18 months ago.

    Sounds solid. Not sure if the meth kit will give you any more power until you turn up the tune, ecu might adjust a bit and hold the power better. Intake seems a mixed bag, but it's cool to have a unique one. Watch that there trans now that your power is getting better...

    Really any drag times should come with elevation and temperature, temp is just a huge difference.

    Hey guys,sorry about the late reply. I'll get some logs this week. Any particular gear?
    It was quite cool that night, I'm sure that helps, since I have stock intercoolers...it was around 12 degrees Celsius. Elevation is about 271' at that track.
    Sorry,not sure what DA is?
    Makaveli, my 60ft times were 1.7 and 1.69...huge difference over your 2.1. That alone can make all the difference...
    BTW, I never sent logs back to marc, it was perfect as is. I had initially logged to make sure its safe, but don't have those logs anymore. I can tell you it runs less boost than the uni flash did. Marc's tune runs about 15lbs, while unitronic ran 18.
