Default Just took my friend for a ride in my "slow auto"

I just had the Hooker Headers installed with ORY and e cutout right after the Y. Also had the ST3500 with transgo installed. Before he thought my car was really fast (much faster than his 02 GT).

I went from a 30 MPH roll in a big parking lot. I hit it for about 3 seconds. He giggled like a little schoolgirl for 10 minutes after that, shaking his head and saying "holy ****" over and over. Just imagine what it would have felt like if I wasnt fishtailing the entire way!!!

It is such an amazing feeling, I should have gotten a stall sooner.


Went from 8.5 in the 1/8th mile to an instant 7.7 with little traction on launch. I am hoping for a 7.5 next time out.

Yeah... stalls are awesome!!! What should that 7.7 convert to in the 1320? About an 11.5?

1320=1/4 MILE......Congrats on the stall. They are awesome, i dropped like 7 tenths in the 1/4 mile when i got mine. But now i want to go bigger. Modding is so addicting. Well goodluck.

7.7 in the 1/4 is a real high 11. i went 7.14 on my best 1/4 mile pass na stock internals and it was an 11.38. i had a similar experience with a friend of mine who has a heads/cam t56 12bolt car and he road in my cammed pt4200 car and couldn't believe it. he now has an FLP level 4 with a pt4400 stall and 4.10s.

A 3500 stall is definitely the cure for the A4 blues.

I'm jealous. I have an M6 car that I would give anything if it was an auto.
