Default All ready for tomorrow and a little more weight out :)

Went to ARE and had my rev limit issue fixed. Problem was in the fact that my car was an M6 converted to an A4.
A rpm parameter that normally wouldnt matter did <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
One little change and everything is perfect. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Rev limit at 7Krpm where it belongs..

Removed the foglights, AIR Pump, and Cruise Control as well this afternoon so I should be a little lighter too.

Borrowing Wades 26x11.5 ET streets and also bringing the 28s to compare the differences. Car is clean loaded and ready to go <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Wish me luck!
Chris

Good luck Pippinishky!

I bet the car looks superghetto w/o the foglites. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Did you pull the front bumper support?

I hope you run very low 11's!

PSJ,
It doesnt look to bad at all. Probably where its black you cant notice it as much haha <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I still have all bumper supports, and airbags in the car. I am scared to remove the bumper supports <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Going to remove pass seat, back seats, jack and spare for the track. I am looking forward to weighing the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Next year will be lightweight hood, Kmember, A-Arms, dynabatt, !pass airbag. I will need to offset the weight of the cage.
I am hoping for anything in the 11.30-11.60 range @119 or so depending on traction of course. That would be great for shakedown passes. My final goal is to beat 11.47 (what I ran with the stock motor and Powerdyne but I want to run it naturally aspirated)
Thanks!
Chris

Weather is cccccold here today, so Chris will easily run 11.3s or better, at 119-121mph. Go for it Chris! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
