Thanks (I think). The cam probably accounts for about 4 tenths. I wouldn't call that a "little" .

Nice times XFiveLiter! I think you can get 11.teens out of it with some more tweaking, a 1.4x, and the perfect weather.

Nice Flame Nytmare, and with all of 7 posts to boot!

Thanks. Yes, I agree that I could go faster yet w/PERFECT weather and a nice tailwind wouldn't hurt either. I probably could have got an 11.29 Saturday if I could have launched harder.

Fellow MFBA'er, thanks for the "props" .

11.37@117mph with the 222/112 is awesome.

I think that a set of heads will go a long way with that big converter of yours.

Didn't mean too flame or sound like one!!!!But in my opinion, that
torque converter gave you damn near a second maybe more!!!!
That camshaft only helped your mph, You probably 60 the same
as before, huh?!?!?!?! Like I said nice times, but for an auto, all
you need is a gear, header, slick, and a 4400 too nock the hell
out of a 11!!!!!!!! AM I WRONG!!!! !!!!Oh and another thing, Not
talking too you , but just because I have limited posts, doesn't mean
I don't know S--t!!!!!!!I have been reading this message board 4
3years now and just decided too register and add my intuitive insight
!!!!!!!!Don't judge by the number of posts, There are Millions that just
read and not play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good times Bro!!!!!!!!!

Mytmare,

Your MPH does not match your mods, you also hittin' it with a small dry shot?

Xfive races like every week, and typically a converter will give an A4 a drop of like half a second off stock, but it's not worth a full second. And stock A4 mph is like 103, so 117mph is nice, it's nice to gain 14mph from headers, cam, weight reduction, ie the same mods as you.

Hey Pro, alls I'm saying is that with a stall that high, that time and mph
is normal for many auto's!!! Hell, that stall out too be the benchmark
for auto owners!!! If I was helping someone out or building one
myself, that would be the first mod I do ..... Later bud

I've seen A4's hit high 11's with a converter, slicks, headers, etc., but not low 11's unless the car was a tin can. Another buddy of ours Magnus has a tin can and he went 11.4 with a stock motor but the car is 3000 raceweight.

Anyhoo Xfive has got u faded so settle down.

Nytmare what was your 60' on that 11.8 @119mph pass? Sometimes excessive spinning will result in higher mph.
