TRACK DAY: Pittsburgh International Race Complex TrackCross Event ? Early September 2014 | ari jay comet

TL;DR - here is the video showing my two best runs in my 2013 Audi Allroad, and one photo:

Again very good lines and speed maintenance. 19" rims? What tires? Stock tune?

It is actually a 20" setup... the wheels/tires specs:

- OEM Audi A7 Wheels, 20×9 ET37
- Falken Azenis PT-722 UHP Tires (255/35-20) All-Seasons

When I had purchased the tires budget forced my hand to these A/S tires. When they get replaced I will upgrade to a stickier summer tire. I've had my eyes on a set of Nitto NT555 since they are offered in the size I'm running. I'm running C6-chassis size tires for more sidewall here in Ohio on crappy roads...

Stock tune. APR doesn't yet make a tune for the B8.5 Allroad (5th injector, flex fuel cars). But they are working on it according to a thread on AudiZine so hopefully I'll have an upgraded ECU sooner or later....

Nice wheels/tires!

I'm embarrassed to say that I wasn't aware we had a 5th injector and flex fuel capability. I now see "E85" on the fuel door placard.

Thanks for the APR insight as I too have been contemplating (I ultimately had a bad experience with Stasis on my 2011 A5 but they're pretty much defunct now).

For details about the chip tune for our car, you can "filter" through this thread:
Teaser: B8.5 A4/A5 E85 (Metal Intake Manifold / Fifth Injector) vehicle

From what details I've garnished from that thread, and some private chats with Arin @ APR, it sounds like they have done a lot of R&D/testing and are just figuring out final details regarding the port flash. They want to release the software ASAP, but there are hurdles in engineering and such apparently.

Based on the data shown there, it seems like 400+ LB-FT of torque will be realized with the chip tune on E85. I've personally not yet ever run E85 on my '13 Allroad, but I'm sure that is something I'll do if I get chipped and have benefits from it. In stock form the benefits are minimal.

Thank you for the kind words. Have a great day!

Thanks again.

btw: I wonder why we didn't get a yellow "E85 flex-fuel" gas cap. I therefore assumed .... but you know what happens when you assume.

You too Sir.
