Default First time with 5.3/A4. What you think?

Heres what the set up consists of.
2002 LM7 120k
Comp Cams 224/230 .538/.538 114+4
Hardened pushrods
Comp 918's
Spl Billet double roller timing chain
Ported MAF
Ported TB
Pacesetter ceramic 1 3/4" with ORY into a dumped bullet
Built A4 w/TCI 3600 Stall TC
Stock M6 rear w/3.42's
Tires are Firehawk wide ovals in 295/35/18

RT: .70 Sleeping I know....
60ft.: 2.0
E.T.: 14.3
MPH: 96

There was very minimal spinning coming off the line since I eased into it. I did almost Identical numbers with my old cheapo gen 1 set up. I think The tune might be a little on the conservative side being that it was only street tuned. It runs nice and smooth through out the whole rpm range but it just seems like I should be doing way better than this. What do you think?

wow, thats pretty good. Looks like mine is very lacking then. Looks like I have the same set up you had. Maybe a retune is in order?

I would say put it on the dyno and get some good tuning done

Definitely need to work on the sixty foot, but even with the slow short time it definitely seems to be lacking on the big end. I agree with the above you might try getting a hold of a friend or someone with HP tuners so you can make some logs of the car at the track, and then review it to make sure everything is working as it should. If you can make it on a dyno that would be helpful as well to make sure you have the tuning side of things lined out.

Thats what My friend suggested. Hook up hp tuners and see what its doing and also maybe take it for a dyno tune. I think my tune is way too basic and is seriously hurting it. I was extremely dissapointed with the trap speed being only 96. That was my first indication that theres something off....
