Keep us updated on the Milltek please, I can see this costing me money....
Really hope aftermarket companies get some noise back.
Off to Crail raceway tomorrow so will be interesting to see my 1/4 times
I will have 2 go pros with me for some videos.

Would be awesome if you made it into the 10's!

10 sec 10.7 -10.8 my guessingFor the level of tune on Billy's car I would expect to see a mid to low eleven second run with a terminal speed of around 120mph. I would love to see a sub-eleven second run in the UK though.
Don't forget to adjust (lower) the tyre pressure's for better grip off the line.
You see that other thread, looks like it's being mapped out by Audi rather than the exhaust ...Keep us updated on the Milltek please, I can see this costing me money....

Yep seems like that.
What I find odd is with valves unplugged, change between comfort and dynamic and the engine note changes totally... how?! Exhaust stays the same but it sounds like a different engine.
Trap speed is pretty good, 60ft times suck. On billy's instagram story he clearly beats a 610bhp RS6 that should be running low 11's so must have been the track.Looks like he’s had a bit of a nightmare today,
Times and speeds look more stock like to me

Maybe conditions weren’t that great at the track afterall. Was certainly lovely weather up here today though, I live only 30 miles from
Crail.
Yeah and in Dynamic there is no rattle and in comfort there is...Yep seems like that.

Probably cold tyres (or was running them with too much pressure) by the looks of the poor 60ft time. Interesting trap speeds though. My PFL stage 2 MRC tuned car only managed a best trap speed 117.91 mph and an 11.71 sec 1/4 mile run at Santa Pod. Billy's FL car is around 60ps up on my car so should be capable of low elevens on the right day.Looks like he’s had a bit of a nightmare today,

RS6 Performance has 597bhp, not sure where Billy's got 610 from? (605ps I suppose)

RS6 run 3 x 11.4's, it may look like Billy beat him in the video but suspect that he launched before, it's not about who crosses the line first.
Billy on average run 11.8's
https://www.crailraceway.co.uk/wp/drivers-times-2/?RID=170&EVDate=2018-03-25
I would say a Stage 2 FL RS3 with 510bhp should be beating a 600bhp RS6. RS3 PWR = 510/1510 x 1000 = 337bhp/ton. RS6 PWR = 597 / 1950 x 1000 = 306bhp/ton.
RS6 was running 11.4's at 124-125
RS3 was running 11.8's at 120-122
Something not quite right there.
I run 11.37 @ 122.3mph in my MRC Stage 2 (425bhp) TTRS back in February 2012 (A Stage 2 record that still stands today)
!
I would expect a 510bhp RS3 to be running 125-127mph+ at Crail, there's a 550bhp 8P S3 (Liam Bryce's car) that runs 130mph terminals there. Almost certainly should be down at 11.0 mark I would say. (Going on what the guys in the US are running)
- From his Instagram, it looks like he's made the biggest mistake you can make in drag racing straight off the bat and that's carrying a passenger. If you want to run a quick time, you don't carry a passenger filming, it's an unnecessary weight penalty and has probably robbed him of 2/10 and 2-3mph. Schoolboy error, Billy, next time, ditch your missus to the spectators barrier and buy a go pro if you want to video your runs
- 60ft's are poor which tells me he's running overinflated (doubtful as he has poor terminal speeds) or that his tyres were cold and he wasn't getting the best of his launches. On cold days, I would do a launch before a launch for example and I would always do 4-5 back to back runs, each time with the tyres getting warmer and warmer. Going by billy's run numbers, unless it was extremely busy, I don't think he done this as there are 100+ runs inbetween his races. Edit.....Crail was very busy yesterday with 230 cars running so perhaps there was long queue times which wouldn't have helped the tyre temps.
- Billy's car has Pano roof, +40kg weight penalty, it's always going to run slower than a car without. Unnecessary weight up top.
- 99 octane? I'm sure Billy wouldn't make that error.
Few pointers there Billy, i'll probably go to Crail in a few months or so with my car, just waiting on a few things first. 11.6 for a 510hp FL isn't bad, but it isn't great either and I'm sure that time will come down to the lower 11's with 125's+ the more practice and runs you get in.
Its all just fun mate. Yes I could have let my tyres down a bit and gained a few here and there but then im having to drive 20 minutes with under inflated tyres to a petrol station when I leave.
I could have told my mate to get out but where's the fun in that? its no fun going down the strip yourself and if they were not getting a shot its no fun for them? And im not going to drive 80 minutes to crail on my own and spend a whole day on my own just for 0.2 off my time. I bought my car to enjoy, not compete. And I do have a go pro, I had 2 of them with us in the car.
And I did to constant back to back runs apart from one I went to the toilet. It was really busy and had to wait 30 minutes each queuing time apart from twice which was a 45 minute wait because cars broke down on track. One of which was a oil spill.
And yes I had V-Power. That's all my cars ever get. Plus I had just under half a tank of fuel which would not have helped my results.
Billy, your reaction time doesn't matter mate. You can sit there for half an hour as the lights turn green and still record an 11.8. Getting off the line any quicker on the lights does not affect your times in the slightest so no, you wouldn't have got anywhere near the 10's I'm afraid.
Check my TTRS video I posted and the times, I sit on the lights for about 3.3 seconds before releasing (RT = 3.3) and still post an 11.37. If I had launched straight away and deducted that 3.3secs, that would have given me an 8sec 1/4mile run. (It doesn't work like this, I'd need over 1200hp to get that kind of time)
Also, although you think you are racing against the guy beside you, the only thing you are racing is the clock. You can see in the video of the RS6 for example that you get off the line a few tenths of a second before he does (you were quicker to react). The RS6 starts to reel you back in towards the end hence why he posted a quicker time and a quicker terminal speed.
Are you getting the map tweaked after you fit the full exhaust?
Billy, was that RS3 you were racing tuned? What stage 1 map did he have? Or was he running a tuning box?

11.9 @ 115mph looks like a standard time to me? When you look at his 1/8 mile splits, 7.62 @ 92mph, this is stock like performance.
(My own car tested 7.1 0-90mph and 8.7 0-100mph) - His looks like a stock car based on that?View attachment 151756
A small tweak could get you abit extra as way less restrictive but then again the travel time I’d prob not bother unless I was going down that wayNo, I doubt it would make a difference
yup, its the distance that will stop me lolA small tweak could get you abit extra as way less restrictive but then again the travel time I’d prob not bother unless I was going down that way
Numbers at Crail are also in sign in order. If there were 235 cars, it would have been 1-235, not random numbers like 603.
