Default 12.0 @ 119.7 .... Oh the agony!!! ... But "the Audi" as everyone called it was a fan favorite...

Ran MS103 on XR. Tried first run without clearing codes, but it wasn't great (12.3 @ 117 I think). So I said heck with it and cleared codes. Logged the second run and CFs were 11-15 while in 3rd!!! WTF!?!?! Why so much timing retard. KVs were very low. NOTE: IATs started at 140F and pegged at 157.55F. I guess the engine was hot! Ran like 12.3 @ 117. Worse than on much less octane in worse conditions. IATs and ECU learning curve FTL.

3rd run - Best launch, but I missed 4th! Argh! 12.1 @ 115.x. Definitely getting faster as ECU is learning.

4th and last run (unfortunately) - Crappy launch (launched at too low RPM), 12.0 @ 119.7. I was .15 seconds behind run 3 at the 1/8 mile, but ended up better just because I didn't miss a gear.

The car was adapting and definitely getting quicker. 2 more runs would have been nice and definitely put me where I wanted to be. Next time, I'll know the lemmi changes to start and I'll clear codes before I leave my house to try and speed the learning process. Argh.

Best part was all the love "the Audi" got. No one even knew what an S4 was. People coming up from all over wanting to know what the heck I had done to it. What engine was in it. "Turbos as in more than one?" I was told people were yelling holy **** when I took off the first time and blew the doors off a C5 vette. The crowd got excited when spotting the Audi coming up after that. My buddy in the stands was proud of the reactions and that I was running faster than any of the other street cars. The other cars I beat were a stage 3 SRT Neon, mean-looking beefy tired Mustang, and an old RX7 with cage/slicks/etc. Fun night, but I left disappointed. At least I learned something. =/

FWIW, 1150 ft, 60-65F outside, mods linked in sig

Only had 2 passes previously, but yes. I learned what not to do next time.
