I like that guy. Seems very down to earth & intelligent.

Yeah Forrest is a great guy/tuner. I actually drove it this morning and it drives pretty good for the size cam it has and boost comes on really quick. I haven't driven a car with this much power in a long time and it was 25 degrees so I wasn't watching my tach but the boost came in pretty quickly. I am going to try and get some videos of my driving it with speedo videos.

Yeah that was weird, I fixed it.

Looks like it pulls hard. Imo, Part of the funky 4-5 is because it's trying to lock the converter when it shifts. Pretty common on A8 converter stuff. You might ask your tuner about just leaving it unlocked or changing where the TCM commands lock up.

Ok thanks, he said we are going to do some logging at the track and get it smoothed out.

Mine fought the 4-5 for a short period too. Glad the tuner figured it out. Im not sure what he did though.

Awesome car. Cant wait to see some 1/4 vids

Thanks, it will have to be Dragy because our track is shut down and no events planned all the way through April. Hopefully they open it for Test and Tune but there isn't anything scheduled.

Do any of the stand alones run it yet?

That guy is easy going. I usually don’t watch long videos but I found myself finishing both of those.
