These files are all going to be on the ragged edge now. None seem like they are safe for repeated track duty. K04 v3.1 included. You've gotta run it in 91 or get meth to be safe. I would've rathered less power and a safe file in the most grueling conditions. The files are basically rice rocket street racing files now since it seems all anyone cares about is peak numbers for dick waggin braggin rights or doing one or two pulls street racing. #lame

I wouldn't run out on the jagged edge at the track, either. No way. In fact, especially when the oil is sloshing around, the 7300rpm redline is the most dangerous part.
My 90k mile car is going to be in stock load level mode at Autobahn CC Monday. Maybe the 91 low output file if I feel comfortable with how it's running.
Speaking of V3.1 being aggressive, I peaked at 29psig on a run today. Attached are two snapshots of logs from two different runs for science. Sometimes I pull timing, sometimes I don't.. but if I do it always approaches zero and stabilizes. The car runs great with zero issues so far.

Shit, I almost forgot what post I was on and that I decided to mod my car fully knowing the risks associated. 67k miles without issues as my daily, not to mention I got the itch and went stage 1 at 10k.
Then again I don't beat the hell out of my car and am very strict on maintaining it. Who knew that helped [emoji8]

Not sure why anybofy would say the 93 file isn't safe. I've been running v 3.1 since it was released with no issues. Anybody that's had engine failure was probably neglecting an issue and not logging their car to make sure everything is healthy. Meth is a nice addition for a small octane bump and cooling to round out the 93 file nicely. I added a kit this spring and will never look back. When it's 90 degrees out the car pulls like a goddamn freight train.

Thing is, with the previous APR K04 file (v2), there were no reported incidents on the forum that I saw of folks popping motors. It was always plug & play. I would consider myself pretty savvy considering I installed my K04 (twice) but I am not as savvy on the logging aspect though.
The kit was always marketed as a simple plug & play solution. You didn't even need an intake or downpipe originally. They said, hey, drop this puppy in and you're good to go!

I cant stress this enough. Had the privilege of great fuel when i was living in Germany and always kept the car in the 93oct mode (I dont run meth). The car always felt unchained. Id loose traction in first and sometimes in second despite having mounts all around and loads of braces. Even on acceleration the car seemed to just be coming unglued.
Now in cali with cheap 91oct fuel i run the 91 map. Less power and torque? absolutely; but the delivery is fantastic. The acceleration feels smoother and cleaner (idk how else to put it). Plus since my car has dropped over hundred pounds and the fluidampr pulley goes in soon... id be willing to bet my speed is comparable to when i ran the 93 map

Weren't the few that were posted on here because of fueling / detonation issues? If I remember correctly, one guy was having fuel pump problems, yet still did some texas mile run in like 100deg weather with the wrong plugs? and another was someone who was running a 100oct file with meth injection, and his pump died? Something like that. I wouldn't consider those the norm. From what I've seen, the race tune is really aggressive timing wise, it's stated to be run with specific race gas, and that they do not recommend running meth injection, and won't support it. It's a gamble, but any kind of racing is.
I'm trying to get my car to pass emissions. I have Apr k04 v3.1 and a downpipe with a 400cell cat. I had the etest done on my 91 octane file and of course oxygen sensor isn't ready.
I put it back to stock mode and got a cel. Do I need to use vcds to clear the cel, force readiness and then go to emisiion test before the cel comes back on? Or do I need a 02 spacer or is it something completely different?
You can clear the CEL and try to run your car through an entire cycle to set readiness before it throws a code again otherwise you're probably going to need an O2 spacer. Had to get one for mine this summer.
