Well i finally took the GTI to the track. I used launch control ESP off. I had an average of 91 oct ( the stupid gas attendent last night put 87 oct in the car. By the time i got to the track i had a little over a half a tank of 87 oct which is about 7.5 gallons. So i bought two gallons of 104 oct at the track so i figured that average's out to 91 oct). Temp was about 60-64 F. Anyway i was spinning of course.

1st run
60' 2.137
330' 6.055
1/8 9.317
mph 75.58
1000' 12.134
1/4 et 14.517
1/4 MPH 94.63

2nd run:
60' 2.136
330' 5.993
1/8 9.203
mph 76.63
1000' 11.986
1/4 ET 14.341
1/4 MPH 95.61

Not bad for the first time :w00t:

What do you guys think? Maybe another time if i have 93 oct with less then a 1/4 tank (about 2/3 tank this time) and maybe a better launch i can knock a tenth or two off the ET? I was thinking maybe 14.1 or 14.2?

every gallon of gas is 1 tenth on the time.. get to the track w/ a quarter tank and you'll get better times. and every 100 lbs is also a tenth.

and it really depends on your launch, a set of good times and you'll get a fairly consistent time with the dsg.

Umm, i'm sorry, but what?? You think that by eliminating 1 gallon of gasoline(around 8 lbs) that you will run a tenth faster? You are right in saying that every 100 lbs you take off is about 1/10th faster, but last time i checked, a gallon of gas does not weigh 100 lbs.

Definitely good times. I ran a 14.5 with stage 1, only at the time I didn't have LC and I looked like an ass taking off 2 seconds after the other dude.

I measured the quarter with Ross-Tech's Vag-Com new feature and it seemed to be pretty accurate, ran a 14.4 with LC, but with plenty of wheelspin (35psi on summer tires). Can wait to get home to do some more clutch degrading launches. :p

sorry i messed that up lol i just noticed how much sense that doesnt make. but if you run with a quarter tank you'll get a faster time than with a half or more.

For your launch control, did you let go at 3000 rpms, or like 2500? i have found at 3 i don't always get the best launch.
