I HIGHLY doubt that... It will not be mid 10s, no way.. High 10s would be an absolute miracle.. You would have to be -DA on a perfect pass.
mid 11s on motor..

yea i know. there are a few guys in the 10's with a4's and they have pretty agressive heads and cam setup. i was hoping for 11.50's the way it is and 10.50's on 150shot. for now at least

what kind of cam would put this car into the mid low 11's? is a 3600 converter good enough for lets say a g5x3 or polluter,ms3?? probably send the heads of to cartek to get the 4x done to them if the deal works out.

That cam is plenty for low 11s.. I would look into a nice set of heads.. You could sell yours for whatever you can get and then buy a set of used AFRs (new if you must)..

I would see how that converter performs first.. If it doesn't get you 1.5Xs or better I would sell it an go to a nice 4000..

I loved my old Vig.. Never got any good times though because I had bad traction issues. It weighed less than 3k and made well over 400Rwhp, stock suspension.. I'm sure it would have done mid 1.4s with traction pretty easily.

My PTC 4000 2.4 STR has taken me to a 1.50 full weight (even stock 16" chrome rims up front) on a 2400DA day. It has 1.46s in it in better weather and skinnies on the front.
