Mounting Drag Radials On My S6 and Going To The Track!

[@grayquattroa395]

Rear seat and passenger seat removal and the 10's are there. Great runs!

[@TheHuggmg]

Obviously make sure you take out your spare tire...just saying but people taking their Daily Driver to the track sometimes forget to do that.

[@DoctaM3]

Always bringing the buttery smooth intro. Glad to see you continuing to mod the daily tastefully. Form & function 👌

[@adamiscoo4]

Seems like it’s short shifting 3rd and 4th gear.. Is the tune stopping the car from hitting the 6500 redline? If so, I’m guessing the power drops off after 6k RPM?

[@gaslightmustang]

Congrats. Though I recognized the track and was right when I saw those slips. Fun times. Best I ever did more than a few years ago was 12.1 @ 125 on street tires and wheels. Miss that car at times. The adrenaline was addictive.

[@TheBlaqjester]

Is there a reason you ran in auto vs dynamic mode?

[@aunihill]

Great content. Appreciate the effort put into your vids. Made my late night beer fly by watching this one. Cheers from a fellow S6 owner.

[@glengaspar]

Any logs ? How did the car run? I’d check for any knock and ignition timing being pulled too.

[@Sky1]

Wow, that is a good run. The S6 I ran on the highway seemed slow

[@jalenbodendorf8288]

Why does the trans upshift at 6k? No gearbox tune?

[@craiglou0528]

Very nice, what stage is your car rite now

[@IgnitionTube]

It was stage 1

[@j.w.presents9552]

I'd put the car in manual mode and rev each gear out a ways man. I've seen C7 S6s gain a full second 60-130mph from that alone.

[@dallasdurrant8888]

I don’t meant to sound like a noob or anything but would this set up be possible to do on a s4. Running 20s up front and 18s in the rear or is this just an s6 thing?

[@cookiehead2]

You can do it. The S6 just requires a 19" or larger wheel to clear the front caliper.

[@MikeFico998]

Dude your car is shifting 1000rpms before redline… what are you doing?

[@jasonhernandez7343]

What fuel?

[@ambereaton4950]

OFF Topic: How the hell do I bypass the TMPS error code in my B8.5 once getting aftermarket wheels/tires...?! I know you've come across this. Please help...?

[@jimlab]

Just FYI, you got more trap speed out of the street tires because they weren’t flat. You aired down the drag radials way too far. 25-26 psi is about as low as you should go, and only go as low as you HAVE to in order to get traction. When you air down that far, you may get a good launch, but you’re dragging flat tires for the rest of the quarter, which slows you down. You should have tried them at full pressure first and then aired down a little only if you spun on the launch.

[@IgnitionTube]

Thanks for the insight, will try different PSIs next time. I’ll probably end up doing some street testing as well 😅

[@ValerianusEustorgios]

I appreciate someone providing great feedback, I would just like to state for the internet to learn that it completely depends on your track, prep, and weather conditions. Many radials perform better below 20 psi in the right conditions, but they also can be slippery (or even dangerous) in the wrong conditions. It completely depends on your environment and that is where drag racing experience comes in, so even if you show up in the best drag car there is always something to play with, this is why I love drag racing.

[@jimlab]

@@IgnitionTube No problem. Just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed your channel so far. I also have a C7.5 S6, and I just ordered RS7 turbos and downpipes and have my upgrade scheduled for September 7th. Going with a DSG E85 tune, since my Trackhawk also drinks E85.

[@luislanda2228]

You need race gas or add E85 to you 93oct

[@Xsar08X]

Lol those weak ol WRX making all that noise and not moving 😂

[@cavyboy19]

how come your tune dosnt red line you ?

[@IgnitionTube]

Turbos run out of puff after 6k so when in launch mode, it shifts at the ideal RPM

[@jrf607]

Yessss Eli this is fire! Loving the content with the S6!

[@joebrooke55]

Loving your content on this. When are the downpipes coming? I can’t wait to see the power & sound difference 😎 Also, are you looking into any charge cooling solutions?

[@IgnitionTube]

Downpipes and HX from JHM are both here - potentially installing next weekend!

[@joebrooke55]

@@IgnitionTube awesome 😎 I’m excited!

[@carlosorozco4786]

Nice Eli! Those times are impressive!

[@Forbidden.s3]

have you tried racing in manual mode? people have shown that their s6 run way faster when they run in manual vs sports mode due to being able to shift out later

[@IgnitionTube]

I think next time I’m out I’m gonna try staying in 4th via manual mode vs auto shifting to 5th

[@Forbidden.s3]

@@IgnitionTube would love to see a video of you comparing the 2 and see if theres any differences in times! Someone had showed their Audi S6 stage 3 doing 60-130 in 8 secs in sports mode and 7 seconds in manual mode so just curious how that would play out for you comparing the data!

[@jad4ca]

Killer time. I bet you’ll hit 10’s in the right conditions without any other mods. I think the drag setup is pretty genius in maintaining the same~ outside diameter of the tires. Thanks for putting out the content.

[@pdstahl84]

love it. I look forward to your videos every week

[@friendo787]

MAN!, Those Subie guys don’t know how to slip the clutch out on the launch. They consistently bogged when racing you.

[@ferdi.b93]

Good runs 👍👍

[@bluemoth1879]

Brilliant and wicked at the same time. 🥂🥂 enjoying life that’s what it’s all about. Great job. 🤙🇺🇸🤟🏼🤟🏼 yaaaboyyy!!

[@Jonse14]

What drive mode where you in? Looked like auto. Do you think if dynamic it would of made a difference.

[@IgnitionTube]

Drive select mode wouldn’t make a difference as long as the trans is in sport mode.

[@ihci]

@@IgnitionTube you should put the suspension in comfort so the car squats and puts the power down better. I've read somewhere thats what all these rs7 are doing on the drag strip.

[@IgnitionTube]

​@@ihci I can set my ride height separately from drive select mode, so comfort vs auto vs dynamic doesn't apply here

[@IgnitionTube]

@@ihci but I do appreciate the insight!!

[@ihci]

@@IgnitionTube its not about the ride height its about the damping. good luck with the next run. Can't wait to see you hit 10s.

[@TwentytenS4B8]

Low 11's will hurt a lot of feelings.

[@DMCarReviews]

Get light 18" rims and you will hit 10s.

[@IgnitionTube]

not sure I agree - it actually might be faster to run 20's all around. 18" tires are HEAVY!

[@jaredoldhouser3301]

Make sure you get tha hub centric rigs, or your wheels will wobble......lol

[@IgnitionTube]

They are hub centric to big body Audis 🤘🏻

What track? Also, where in MA are you going for exhaust work? Great vid. I miss running the track and may still try to hit it some time this year. Keep up the good work!

[@venicesaint1500]

🤣🤣 4:22 tf happened to that camero

[@bandit911]

That tire size difference is not good for a quattro, that front tire size is doing 5 revolutions more than the back tire over just 1 mile, BUT your car runs similar to a haldex system? I'm not to sure about the newer quattro's, but the older center diff quattro's that tire difference would play havoc with the center diff, could be a reason for the slower trap times if your gearing is off slightly through the different tire sizes as your back tires would be pulling against your front tires, even if it's an 8th mile drag that front tire is still doing 0.625 more revolution than the back tire, not much but would still cause significant enough drag between front and rear tires, but like I said I not 100% on the haldex system if it allows that slippage or not

[@mikejerome8674]

Should tape your fender wells to protect your paint. You just fixed it lol. Great vid tho

[@natedaniel7189]

Pull out your back seat and passenger seat and you’ll be in the 10s.

Can't wait for downpipes on this beast. I imagine you'll start stripping out the seats to cut weight before long lol.
