Impressive. Not many head/cam cars get to those numbers, if any. Especially with an auto. Can't wait to see the times.
How does the kit work with your current Y and LTs?

Finally someone that will take a STS F-body out to the track. I know TR won't let us down. Glad to see TR carrying the STS kits....love the numbers that it put down, great work. Any chance you guys getting a FMIC for it?

Angie Iam sure you will lay down some excellent times with that light weight car! What kind of 60' times are you hoping for and are you going to run DR's or slicks? I know you don't fudge numbers but the 340rwhp SAE with headers/catback & a pulley with an A4 is just freakin impressive! You gotta FREAK!

FINALLY, A day with no rain... So far today I've burned about 1/2 tank of gas, wasted about 20,000 miles off my tires and have been generally having a BLAST with this setup 
The turbo is so smooth but when it hits, the thing screams. It drives just like normal unless you put your foot to it (which has been happening a lot more!) I keep looking for excuses to drive around 
The track we usually go to (No Problem Raceway) is not running TNT this week b/c of a big points meet, so I may head up to State Capitol Dragway this weekend if I can't wait another week.

Wow, great to see Thunder representing, and my favorite person there too. Any employment opportunities at TR? 
I will be a "test driver". 
Thinking of doing the Alky or FMIC?
Good luck on your track times.

you should have seen the look on those guys faces in that truck, rite after we pulled out and they passed us and seconds later we flew by at over 110mph. 
sounds great, now get to the track.
