I’ve got a short list of mods - at least at this time. Intercooler and tune are about it because this is my daily with an extra warranty on it, so I’m going to stay pretty mild. However, I do want the car to be the best it can be within those parameters.
I’ve already got the parts that will eventually make their way into the car - an ATM intercooler, and the FRPP tune for 18+ cars. Anything else I do will be in support of that foundation. To that end, I have already installed one-step-cooler spark plugs. That’s it, though, the power train is totally stock right now.
With the baseline established, I went down to my local speed shop - Speedtek Performance - and put the car on the Dynojet rollers. First and last runs were in 7th gear, or 1:1 in the A10. The middle test was in 6th, and also about a minute after the first run, so hotter than hell. Density altitude was also miserable at nearly 4100 feet... actual was around 600.
Results
Best WHP = 261 @ 5000
Best WTQ = 311 @ 3700
The test is a little unusual because the pulls really start around 3500 rpm, so I’ll have to consider that as I install upgrades. Road speeds started around 65mph and ended about 145mph.
So that’s the start. Will take me a while to make progress the way my work schedule has been, but I had to start somewhere.
Thanks for reading along, and more to follow...
