Default Hotcam help!

I've got a 1996 Z A-4 with Hotcam kit, headers, & loudmouth cat back. My best is 12.9 at 106. Would a 52mm or 58mm TB or larger injectors help at all.? How Much? Thanks.

I got a 97 ss 6 speed with hotcam shorty headers and 52mm tb and I'm going through the traps about 110 mph. I would def get a 52mm tb and do some gears like 3.73 and the torque converter. Is your car tuned?

What was your 60' like?

With that trap speed you should be able to get closer to a mid 12 with a low 1.8 60'.

Since it is an automatic -- I'd look into getting a 3000+ stall converter. That'll wake the car up a lot off the line and really help your ET.

Thanks for the replies. My 60' is 1.8-1.9. I have 2 Z-28s so I think I swap out the TB and see what happens.
