G5X3 at the track I have a g5x3 cam in my car, along w/ the mods in my sig. I am currently running fairly consistent 12.1's. This seems a bit on the bad side to me. Shouldn't I be running faster than that? I finish at 113.7, by the way. My SES light is on, throwing codes for the bank 1 oxygen sensor. Could a bad o2 sensor be slowing me down? Thanks
60 ft looks pretty good to me man, my only guess is that your missing on power somewhere. Try replaceing that 02 sensor and go from there. I have heard about bad 02 sensors putting power down.

Him not being in the 11s where he should be has nothing to do with his 60' times which are actually pretty good.
With that cam, your trap speeds should be higher than that. How did your car dyno?
P.S.- I have lousy 60' times in the 2.0s on street tires. My drag radials have been ordered.

When the car was tuned what did it dyno?
Edit- guess i missed that. It is definitely in the tune. Check the o2's and get the car retuned.

There's no trick to installing a cam and if it wasn't degreed properly it would have shown up in the dyno numbers. 385 rwhp from an A4 car with presumably stock heads is damn impressive so I don't think the install is the problem.
You're either losing power somehow (KR or something else) or your dyno numbers were somehow skewed. I'd get the car redynoed (somewhere else than the last time) and see what your numbers look like. Also, have them check for knock retard at WOT.

I see that you drive an M6 car, so take a look at this list and educate yourself.
