Got into it with a 350Z.......and notice some things
Needless to say, the 350Z did get the upper hand. The race began at a traffic light onto an interstate and lasted for a half mile. Anyways, while taking on this 2 door altima, I realized a few things:
1. The A4 takes way to goddamn long to change gears (yes, I have a tiptronic). So I guess I would need a chip for the TCU.
2. I noticed that the higher up in the rev range I get, the car starts to taper off and not pull as hard. I'm thinking maybe my DV is not holding boost.
3. That Stage III kit from Renn-Art is looking mighty tempting.

The k03 cannot hold boost all the way to redline, it will taper off after 5500 RPMS or so...
TIP does suck for shifting w/ out the Tip chip.
Good thing you didnt have a run in w/ my bro in law... hes got a APS tt 350z.. 460WHP 480WTQ all the way to redline

yea, I realize that fairlady's were their own entity, but the VQ isnt a bad motor.. though th SR20DET (i think) is nice.
His problem right now is fueling... the current APS/UTEC i think.. programing cannot flow the fuel he needs, so boost tapers at redline..
he bulit his motor with either 8/or 8.5 compression.... I should really tell him to up his boost... since lower compression motors handle boost better...
but like i said his problem is fueling.. and he should be able to push over 500WHP when APS sends out the upgraded fuel kits.

wait, you're in an A4Tip and you took on a 350Z which may or may not have had a 6-speed manual and may or may not have had a driver who can actually drive it???? i'm not a gambling man but with gas prices being what they are these days, i would have conserved my fuel because the odds weren't in your favor. and the sad part is, you got shpanked by "a 2-door Altima"
