I took the GIAC GTI to the drag strip on Satuday & came home with a new K04 record!

I had a chance to bring the GTI back to the drag strip for a private drag event over the weekend with our latest and greatest public release files. The strip was Famoso Raceway and the conditions were decent, but not amazing. Density Altitude was around +600 for most of the day, reaching around 1000’ at one point. That said, the temperatures were right around 60 degrees (altitude of the track is 642 feet) for my runs.


Details:

Mods:


Weight Reduction: Seat, Spare, OEM tool kit

Other notes: BCS performance coil over suspension, OEM engine/dog bone mounts, OEM throttle body pipe, OEM clutch packs, All factory body panels, OEM battery, 19x8.5” Rotiform NUE with Hankook RS3 tires in the rear, OEM battery, OEM brakes, OEM seats.

0-60 in 3.3 seconds with the Hoosiers:


I started the day at 18 psi (cold) for tire pressure. The best I could manage was a 1.9 60' time with massive wheel hop. I thought the engine was going to come through the hood it was so bad, but the car was starting to hook up. Then I decided to drop my tire pressure to 14 psi, and that is when it all came together. There was absolutely no wheel hop, and the 3700 RPM launch limiter worked very well. Though it did drop the trap speed a bit.

Overall my best trap speed on the day was 118.90 mph
My best ET was 11.602@117.26 (96 mph through the 1/8th mile!).

Slips:


I've got some in car videos that I will post up shortly.

not to be a douche, but Austin does say that this is a new world record for a k04 gti


are you talking about ever perhaps?

cool shit dude!!!!! but maybe ya need mounts though?

Curious as to how you got up to a 375 ml nozzle? Do you get any bogging? I'm debating on whether to add a 60, 100, or 125 ml to my current 225ml nozzle. On one hand I think 350ml is overkill but I see more and more people going to 375ml/m or so. I'm leaning more towards a 60ml based on the DO calculator and a couple of other peoples experiences.

amazing and very inspiring!

how about FSI?

Too many other variables to compare tune to tune. He has LSD and Hoosiers, unless you have those kind of traction enhancers you won't beat his times even if you have a little more power.

Impressive.. In for the video.
