Bolt on A4 (freak)
[QUOTE=blkZ28spt]Neither do I!
Bolt on full weight stock converter A4 traps 114? I don't know, that'd be one HELL of a freak.
I was driving the car and I weigh about 210 lbs. The car is just one of the stout ones, There is no other explanation

Pull the valve covers and check the color of the valve springs. Assuming you bought it used, the previous owner could have installed a LS6 cam (with or without springs) and no one would ever notice.
BTW - Can you post the dyno graph? Curious to see how it looks past 6000 rpms.

One car had a comp 212/218 cam and the other car had a LS6 cam. Both cars idled no different than stock so you would never know they had cams in them. I'm sure who ever bought those 2 cars thought they had factory freaks.

I'm pretty sure I trapped that a few times. I'll dig out the slips to check. But as a few ppl have said they have seen my car run the times with there own eyes. They have been around since I got the car and know exactly what is done to it and exactly how it runs. I appreciate all the compliments, I am hoping to get a new tranny soon and spray a lil more than 100shot and put me in the 10's.

nice time the best i could do with stock stall, lid, cutout, FTRA, and ported tb was 12.54 at 111.7mph but that was with some weight reduction...skinnies on front, no spare/jack etc...after the stall and amazing -950 da all bolt ons minus headers i got a 115.4mph but i am at 3365 raceweight...very possible would love to see the weight of the car and the DA that day...
fyi the headers on the car now maybe added 10hp if that...
**** maybe i need to get that tune you have...i am on the stock one still

Like I said, I posted up both sets of numbers because I wasn't sure what people on here went by. I'm not trying to say "Look my GF's bolt on car made 375 rwhp" That's why I posted both sets of numbers. I guess it's too hard for some people to just say, nice numbers.

[QUOTE=BAKED] Nice numbers indeed, the trap speed is crazy fast especially for a factory stall. It's just crazy when the same operations take place over and over in industry, like these motors being produced, and still, you have a few cars putting down some crazy numbers on the dyno and track.
Do you have any stock numbers... Before the bolt-ons and mods? If their was something to go by, you could really see where the HP is coming from; it just really stumps me when "Thousands" of these cars were made, and their is this one for example that is putting down trap speeds at numbers 400 horse cars are having trouble reaching... I mean, their "HAS" to be an explanation, stuff like this just doesn't happen without one... If you had stock numbers at the track, then we could really see what is going on, and how big of a "Freak" it actually was before bolt ons... Your car would be running high 12's-13 flat stock!
Anyways, your car is extremely fast for what it is, good luck with the future mods, and 10's.....

I posted before that I was wrong about the 114, it was 113.599. I have the slip right here in front of me, I'll just type in the whole thing.
Reaction---.450
I1---------1.900
I2---------5.335
I3---------8.121
Mph-------87.875
E.T.-------12.562
MPH-------113.599
No stock numbers, I am curious what it would have done too.
I agree that it's crazy about thousands of them being built exactly the same and some running better than others but it's true, it's like playing the lottery LOL
