Default Our '97 C5 A4 Breaks into the 11's

We just finished the "minor" buildup on our '97 C5 A4. It has ARE "Budget" ported heads (stock valves), LS6 intake, a Lunati custom grind cam, Ross Forged pistons (now 9.5:1), TTS headers, Corsa Titanium Race Exhaust, no cats, Yank 3500, and 3.42 gears. We took it to the track last night, and without tuning, managed a best of 11.94 @ 115.09.
Here's the slip:

60ft 1.729
330 4.953
1/8 7.645
mph 91.09
1000 9.978
1/4 11.948
mph 115.09

Ed Wright will be retuning the PCM this week. Hopefully we can pick up another 1/10 or so...

Oh yea, almost forgot....we drove it 700 miles one way to Florida last week and got 24mpg to boot.

Congrats on your 11. Why the lowered compression? Are you planning to put forced induction on it?

Congrats, Rob. Is that the white one you had at the F-Body shootout that had a TNT wet kit on it?

As soon as I get the PCM tuned for some more fuel, we'll try spraying it again. Last year it went 11.28 @ 125.71 on plain BFG radials. Hopefully, with the new mods and some ET Streets, we'll see some 10's at 130+ on the jug.
