Default 11's possible with N20 stock C5?

Just curious if anyone has run their mostly stock C5 at the track with N20? I currently have just a cold air and cat back. I just installed a 100 dry on the vette over the weekend ,also installed some colder plugs. That should be plenty for the 11's I would think. The car is a 2000 A4. Anyone have anything close to that?

I think it's possible depending on track prep and 60ft.

No problem, an f-body with 100 dry shot will run in the 11's & they weigh 3600 lbs. I went 11.60's @ 117 with mine. BTW air lid, cat back, 100 dry,& DR that was it.

The key here is drag radials. Without the sticky tires you will be spinning half way down the track. Get some tires and you should be good to go.

Some good times there. You guys shift the a4 or let it shift itself when going down the track. I have always sprayed a manuel and so far not a big fan on spraying the a4.

Robert, what can I do to get a better nozzle placement? I have the bottle in a bag kit by compucar. If I put the nozzle probe thing in the middle of the 2 filters it just bogs down, like the maf is getting a direct shot and it is not liking it. I put the probe in one of the filters at the end of it. It is too much travel for the nitrous before it gets to the maf. DO you sell a nozzle that can work or that ring you have?

Not sure what filter/cai system you have. A pic would be great. Also, what nozzle are you using ie: straight shooter or 90* or 70*.

I have a volant cold air kit, I dont have a nozzle, it is just a probe. It comes with the bottle in a bag kit. Which is just a plastic line into some cheesy probe. I think that is a major problem with getting the full hit on this kit.

That'a a dual cone set-up? Yea, you need a proper nozzle to dispense the nitrous correctly. Even so, the probe or even an open ended braided line can work, but harder to make correct concerning a/f.
