Excerpt:

"Over the last few months my RS7 has been residing at APR with some upgrades in the works.

They have made incredible progress and I am VERY happy with the results. The basic changes are stock turbo's reworked by TTE, new APR inlets and Roc-Euro intake, APR cast Race DP, and Miltek exhaust. The remaining important part is tuning which is phenomenal! Power is steady at 765AWHP / 775AWTQ on 104 Sunoco. Pump gas was 680AWHP / 725AWTQ.

We went to the Montgomery track yesterday and I have to say they do it first class. We made many, many passes and the numbers are below.

Best pass was 10.348 @ 135.56mph at 2.52pm when the DA was registering over +3,000.

If I could get better traction we could have gone faster.

We started with some M/T drag radials on the rear and the car didn't like them so we put all four Forgelines on and she picked up. Wheels are 20 x 10" Forgeline GA1R with 295-30 20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. They are sticky but not enough.

Using the upcoming APR 4.0 TFSI Cast Exhaust Race DP and new APR Stage II ECU Upgrade, we set out to test the C7 S6 and C7 S7 in various configurations, ultimately resulting in two new and exciting records!

The S6 was outfitted with the APR Stage II ECU Upgrade, APR TCU Upgrade, APR Cast Downpipes, 93 octane fuel and all season tires on factory wheels at full vehicle weight. With a 1.733 60 foot time, the best result of the day was an 11.388@121.81 MPH. The heavier S7 was outfitted with the same mods, but ran with Sunoco GT260+ 104 Octane fuel and Michelin tires on APR Wheels, again at full vehicle weight. With a 1.678 60 FT time the best result of the day was an 11.019@124.61 MPH! The density altitude remained close to 0 feet all day according to dragtimes.com. For comparison sake, our best results with the factory equipped vehicle was 12.216@112.42 MPH and 11.628@117.83 MPH using only our Stage I ECU Upgrade, and 93 octane fuel.

Over the course of the day, we ran several times, backing the 11.3 pump fuel results. We frustratingly backed the 11.0 multiple times, mere hundreds away from our goal of a 10.9 on factory turbo. The video does not show the fastest runs as those were captured after the film crew left as they had prior Super Bowl Sunday obligations.

On the dyno, the Stage II ECU Upgrade, paired with the APR Cast Race DP offers a substantial leap in power and torque, which contributes heavily to to the faster times at the track. Stay tuned for the official release

We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the Porsche Cayenne S and S Coupe (9Y) 2.9 TFSI engine with the Bosch MG1 ECU! Expect massive gains with up to 484-538 HP and 521-590 FT-LBS of torque on tap, depending on octane, from this simple software upgrade.

APR's ECU Upgrades are the best dollar-per-horsepower modification one can make to improve engine performance. The upgrades dramatically increase horsepower and torque, making for an exceptionally quicker and more exciting vehicle. This is made possible through APR's optimization of the factory engine management system to take full advantage of the engine's capabilities, without needing any end user adjustment. The ECU Upgrades are available with various features and supported octane levels and each stage is compatible with most typical bolt-on modifications. The software is installed to the vehicle's factory ECU through the OBD-II port once the ECU is unlocked, resulting in a clean and headache-free install.

We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the Audi SQ7 and SQ8 4.0 TFSI V8 engine with the Bosch MG1 ECU! Expect massive gains with up to 685-767 HP and 731-804 FT-LBS of torque on tap, depending on octane, from this simple software upgrade.

Our new suite of MG1 ECU software comes after months of extensive research and development that is typically absent from the aftermarket. Our upgrade makes the engine more powerful and more exciting. We’ve extensively calibrated the system to work flawlessly on the track, while retaining safety routines to protect your engine in the most demanding scenarios. This was all made possible by our engineering team's pursuit of perfection. Development vehicles were outfitted with additional sensors, including turbo shaft speed sensors, thermocouples, transducers, and more, along with our high speed direct RAM logging equipment, to feed valuable data to the team for analysis. After thousands of hours of testing and tuning we created new calibrations that are fine tuned for several octanes and contain hundreds of map changes, with a vast array of safety features built in.
