Powerglide shakedown on GAS With it raining off an on Friday and the track never being good after it gets wet, I can say at least the place wasn't busy with a total of about 30 cars.
There's not a real comparison to old times with the A4 because I was having solenoid problems that wasn't giving a full shot. These current times are after adding the glide, wolfe anti-roll drag bar and changing the exhaust to dumps.
60' - 1.57
1/8 - 6.75
mph - 105.5
1/4 - 10.46
mph - 132.8
Don't know if the car was dead hooking off the line or not and would be amazed at my suspension if it was. I can tell you that the track prep had to have stopped at the 330' because as soon as I hit that section I really had my hands full. Felt like the car was just floating and I was loosing traction until I shifted. Had to drive the car to get it down the track remotely straight and that's not rush you want.
I'm extremely happy after all the 11.doh runs with the A4. I was really hoping the car would 60' better even though I'm running the 3.70s with a 28" tire. Now it's time for me to get the 4.30s and see what the hot rod will do.

NX kit, 150 shot. It's the most this setup will see as it's still a stock bottom end.
My big thanks goes out to Norris Motorsports as they have really been great to work with. And another thanks to Steve (Derty) for the wiring help with the nitrous/brake.
