you and that little damn vig2800..... looks like those 4400 yank boys better lok out for ya and you have half that stall just about <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

I was amazed when you got 11's with it... but 11.8's is awesome

if this other mod helps the way i think it will, you may be in the top 2 or 3 bolt on cars <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks guys! I'm hoping for some mid 11's soon. The mph kind of surprises me too. Seems thats about right for most 6-speed cars but high for an A4. I'm not sure what the DA was but the weather was very nice ~50 degrees.

Damn dude!!!! That mph is awesome. I have basically the same stuff as you, except for 3.73's, and I only pulled 106 on motor. Will a good 60ft like that help mph? My 60 was a 2.0, so, my best motor pass is a 12.9 @ 106.

I'm still flabbergasted at your mph. What's wrong with my car????? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

But every setup seems to work differently on each car. Some cars may only see mid 12's with those mids, while some run 11.8-9's. I guess its just the track time and learning the car process. But a 2.0 60 is killin you! If you could pull a 1.6 you would hve low 12's easy! Hell i have a 3600 stall and only went 11.95, but at 3400+ pounds. Still he's flying <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Awesome car, awesome driver, and awesome setup! He traps that most cam only A4's trap!

<img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> I have to throw it unless I see you have a #2100 raceweight lol. Were your other runs/'60s consitent with this one? Was everyone running faster than usual that night? I just find this time really hard to believe. If its for real, more power to you, your car is a freak!

I was waitin for someone to call BS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hell one of my friends went 12.08 in his bolt on Z with a vig2800 and 3.73's without LT headers, so I know it can be done. Look at the guy on here running 11's with a 2600 yank and bolt ons!!!!!

MADCOW isnt gonna make up BS times.. he's a good friend and has no reason to boost about times he did or did not run with certain mods <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

the weather has been great lately out this way also...

Thanks! I can tell most guys at the track probably don't believe me either, especially when they see my wheels come up on launch! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . 1/8 mi was 7.516 @ 90.64. Raceweight~3300lbs. My best before was 11.95 @ 115. You can check out my website, it has most of my mods on there.

Harold, Are you going to the modern F-Body shootout on the 19th @ MIR?
