Default 11's EPS 226/230 cam only

Went to MIR for test and tune 9-16-2011. Car mods as follows:

2002 Z/28 A4.
ARH headers w/oryp
Magnaflow quad tip catback, no cut out.
ASP pulley
EPS 226/230 114+3
Comp trunion kit
3600 Vig
Bogarts with MT drag radials
3.42 gears
Race weight ~3525-3550

Track was really crowded and I only got 3 runs in. First run I spun which didn't happen when the car was bolt on, it basically dead hooked before. Aired the tires down and did a bigger burnout and ran 11.94 @ 112.98 with a 1.66 60'. Third run I lowered the air pressure again and ran 11.83 @ 113.55 with a 1.62 60'. I think the car would have run 11.7x if I got another run in, but after waiting 1-1/2 hours in the staging lanes for my third pass I was done for the night.

Suspension mods are UMI control arms and bolt in sub frames. My buddy Larry did the tuning. I'm happy with the car. It drives like stock, has cold A/C. The good fall weather is almost here and I expect to knock a few tenths off my ET. Will post a time slip later.

What was the DA? I would expect you to trap a little higher.

Not sure, the temperature was in the 50's. Bolt on the car trapped about the same as yours with a best of 112+ mph on a really good DA day.

WTG, Bruce !! I was wondering when you were going to let'er rip again. You and I both know it will get faster once everything really settles in together.

Well ,the plan was to get everybody together again this month, but I had a few set-backs myself ( I had gotten sick). Be on the lookout for mid- October. I should be back on my feet by then . I haven't made any changes since the last time. So hopefully the cooler temps could be a big help for all of us.

The trap seems ok to me considering the stock ls6 intake. Is your TB ported? If you get the chance, I would upgrade to a ported fast intake with throttle body and then get the car retuned. I'm betting you gain a solid 2mph in trap and drop at least .2 off your ET.

But 11.8 is pretty good for your setup. Grats on the 11's and good luck in the cooler fall air!

Thanks. Still have the stock unported TB and MAF w/screen. Front sway bar on and hooked up. Injectors are maxed out. I have a set of 36 lb injectors to put in. I have to experiment with the launch, but need more than the 3 passes I got the other night to figure it out. I'm confident the car will run 11.6X later this fall pretty much the way it sits now.

Nice run, I'm hoping to get in the 11's in a couple weeks at the 1/4 mile track as well!

I see no reason why you can't run 11.5s when the really good air gets here. I had the opportunity to drive a vette with that cam, and even with stock gears, it pulls hard upstairs. It has a great idle also. I wish I had gone that route.

Were you referring to me or the OP?

I hope you're right Dave I would be real happy with 11.50's. We have to get everyone together for a track day soon.

I'm finally figuring out my combination and how to launch with the new clutch. I can't wait for that negative da to get here.

That is a strong pass. I am eyeballing a very similar cam for my car right now (226/234 on 111 +2). Good to see that cam making strong numbers.

I went back to MIR to get a few more runs in on the new combination. The weather wasn't as good as the last time out but I still got a new best. Race weight 3525 lbs. with me in the car.

60' - 1.61
330 - 4.77
1/8 - 7.43
MPH - 91.30
1/4 - 11.74
MPH - 114.26

How do you like the EPS cam? Mine is waiting install/tune money as we speak. Im running intake/headers/catback and will only be adding the cam to that.
