Default 130 mph + with cam and N20?

Would it be possible to trap 130+ in a full weight SS A4 with bolt on's, cam, nitrous, and converter. More specifically i was planing on kooks 1 7/8 headers and ory, Gmmg exaust, Fast 90mm intake, 90mm tb, FTRA kit with K&N and lid, vig or yank 3600-4000 stall, bmr LCA, relo brackets, sfc, and torque arm, 12 bolt with 3.42's, and finally an HPE S cam package, and a wet nitrous kit (unsure won which one yet) with probably around 150hp jets and obviously all saftey and fuel equipment needed. This is going to be on a full weight car probably on MT drag radials. Also would the stock bottom end even handle the 150 shot and would it work with this cam?

Sure you can reach that. I don't have the FAST intake or 1 7/8 headers, or a very big cam, and with a TNT 150 shot, I went 127 with a horrible 2.0 60ft. So if you launch hard and have enough HP and TQ, plus you may be lighter than me too...you should be able to do it.

i have a full weight T/A WS6 A4 with a G5X2 cam and most bolt ons, i have a Pro Yank 4000 extreme, and with 3.73's and a 150 NX MAF shot i ran back to back 10.77@ 129.87 and 129.96, so i say it is possible. the car ran a best of 11.70@ 119.89 N/A

yes it can happen. You'll probably want to invest in a nitrous convertor or if you are getting an off the shelf unit than stay at 3000 or so as the n2o will make the convertor flash at about 3800.

And skip the 1-7/8" headers and stay with 1-3/4" primaries. Do a search and you'll see why.

We switched from 1 3/4 Hooker LT's on Trans Am Dans car (fastest stock shortblock record car), to 1 7/8 stepped to 2 with 3 1/2" collectors, and picked up 4 mph IN THE 1/8TH!! Nitrous/power adder cars need exhaust. So bigger headers will help...

The S cam is a real good nitrous cam. Better than what Trans Am Dan was running, and he broke the record.

It's very possible....my cam only car went 141 weighing in at around 3200 with a 200 shot. I was running a 1-7/8ths header with a 3.5 inch collector and 3.5 inch dual system.

nitrous def needs big exhaust. thats y i went with the 1'7/8. once it is combusted it multiplies its size in gasious form by some ungodly amount so i think the bigger header is the way to fly

Definatly possible, I went 10.8 @128 using a Pro Yank tranny and a PY3400E which is the best TC I have owned to date for N20. That was with 360/350 hp/tq N/A and a 150 shot. A stock tranny won't hold for long though, even the pro yank gave it up when my N/A numbers went up.
