APR B8 S4 11.1 Quarter Mile Pass with a 4,200 Feet DA!
| 09/10/2015APR S4 World Record: 11.1 with a +4,200 Density Altitude!
The race for a 10 second S4 3.0 TFSI just got a little more promising as APR sets an 11.1 @ 121.58 MPH in the quarter mile in extremely unfavorable conditions!
On July 30th, APR's S4 equipped with the upcoming Magnuson TVS1740 Supercharger System headed to Montgomery Motorsport Park in Alabama for a full day of endurance testing at the track with temperatures in the 100F's. Records were first set using Magnuson's off the shelf TVS1740 Supercharger System with APR's included 100-octane software, resulting in an 11.3@120 MPH on Michelin PSS tires.
As the day progressed, the conditioned worsened with temperatures reaching above 105F and the density altitude peaking above 4,200 feet. However, despite the terrible conditions, a new world record was achieved. APR's R&D team swapped the supplied pulley on the Magnuson TVS1740 to a new APR prototype upgrade, scheduled for release in the near future, and achieved an 11.1 @ 121.58 MPH pass!
"Given the extremely poor conditions (4200ft DA) our 11.1 second pass will hopefully lead to a 10 second pass as conditions improve here in Alabama. S Tronic calibration improvements, additional hardware changes (removing the catalysts), and further refinement of the overall package will only push the platform to a place we've all wanted it to go." Said Eric Urness, lead calibrator at APR.

APR Audi S5 4.2L FSI V8 Stage III+ TVS1740 Supercharger System Quarter Mile!
| 04/17/2014APR Presents the Audi S5 4.2L FSI V8 Stage 3+ TVS1740 Supercharger System!
In the factory form, Audi's S5 4.2L FSI V8 leaves much to be desired compared to recent models proudly displaying the S badge. The APR Stage III+ TVS1740 Supercharger System fills the void by adding an average of roughly 45% more horsepower and torque across the entire power band. The results are nothing short of amazing; taking the S5 from 353 horsepower to 589 horsepower on pump fuel and 635 on race fuel without breaking a sweat! With up to 542 FT-LBS on tap thanks to the TVS1740's positive displacement supercharger, expect instant acceleration with absolutely no lag commonly associated with other forms of forced induction.
