One thing I want to point out. I am not in anyway saying there arent higher power or faster S3's out there. I don't want to tune, so my power will stay where it's at.
I am also a tad beyond the fuel limits. The fuel pump rewire got me down to just under 12 & only get a tiny bit of knock on cali 91 octane. I added meth injection to keep things safer at WOT. I experimented & I can even run full boost on 87 octane with the coolingmist kit. Lol. On HOM, I don't use the meth at all. HOM runs right at 12 A/F.
Did you make this with a big wheel or a stock stage 3 wheel?
If it was a big wheel, I will put money on you losing. I know guys that make 360 hp and 450 lbs of torque of the unmodified stage 3. you lost alot of the torque stage 3 dishes out when you add supporting mods.. This is exactly what Im talking about. You cant make a bigger wheel work well if you dont have good motor mods.. Torque is what gets you done the track.
