Why would you need 50# injectors? I know Lightning guys making way more power than you with 42's. I dont think youre making the power you think you are. You need to get it tuned then put it on the dyno and find out were youre really at. Did you buy your heads new or used? Wouldnt judge to much off of racing on the street from a roll.

Either way, you should have started to pull on him up top. Although, if you did start in second, you would be playing catch up and this race would make sense.
Now, if you started in first and the race was even to 90, i say that your car is putting down no more than 300Rwhp and something is wrong...His car probably isn't making any more than 315-320Rwhp. 300Rwhp in an LT1 A4 would make sense to stay side by side next to him...
You need to get your car dyno tuned.

WHat have you dynoed?
How do you like that Fuddle stall? I think mine is effed up, and if it is, I got it that way. Mine is also a 3400, with a 2.1 STR. On the dyno we couldn't get it to hold, it was slipping. It also feels like it slips on the street. It is a lock up converter and it VERY RARELY locks up, no matter how easy I baby it.
