Default The lil old bolt on LT1

blew away my goal for the year last night at the first trip to the track...

Goals for the end of this season were:

1. 3300lbs raceweight (with me in it)
2. 12.99 et
3. a 1.75 60ft

first pass of the year right out of the gate i ran a 12.77 @ 105mph ran 6 runs and my best was 12.73 @106mph

the weather was ok but had a lot of moisture in the air... i still got prostars to throw on and a aluminum driveshaft

maybe a 12.5 by the end of the year? who knows this is insane!

Good time comes out to ~315 RWHP that is an impressive achievement for your mods.

Well done!

Good ****, seems like that Yank is working well for you. Not sure about that 315rwhp thing, whens the last time a bolt-on stalled A4 has broke 300rwhp ya know? I would think more in the 280's or something. In that case my old cc503 only got me 15 horse but jumped my traps by 7mph lol. Try launching from idle if you didnt already, seemed to net me the best 60's doing that with the same verter.

Yep, nice times.

I keep running 13.0 at 103. 1.75 sixty foots.
I have 165k on my tired old motor though. I don't think it has a 12.99 in it.
