It was on a fresh scrapped track.
Went to get a feel for the car with the new stall. Still learning the launch rpms but did net a 1.50 on one pass
Really happy how well it works with the 2.56 gears and 18" 30 series DR. I think with the current power level and leaving a little harder i can net some mid 1.4's. Did run 11.3 on the brakes at the end that night.
I'd like to get to the track in the next few weeks and try again but im getting sick of for weather/track to cooperate. We will see if i can hold out another few weeks.

Not exactly the results i wanted but im happy enough to now move on to the cam swap. Converter is a little big for the stock powerband(cam) but i'im 100% sure it will LOVE the cam.

Car leaves good for a stocker... I'm suprised to lost 2 mph up top from the converter swap though... Was the DA much different from your previous 123.5 mph best? Converter is probably a little loose due to the 2.56 gears but...its hard to go by that on A6s... 1.47 60' is pretty decent starting out, especially with 2.56s.. Were you flashing the converter or stalling it?
I would have thought for sure it would have gone 10.90s, especially with a 1.47..... Another 50hp from a cam will definitely get you there.....
Measure out your converter slip...may need to be tightened a bit... You should have probably gained 1-2 mph with the same weather conditions.. hard to say, so many variables..
Car is awesome though....I cant wait to see where you go with it.. Also I like the black cap....
I'm going an RPM 4l60 swap on my car right now... Autos just run so much harder, I figured I'd jump in and take advantage of the automatic magic...

Ok im putting together a new setup here heh.
After my last track visit and testing in the 1/8th i think i need to do one last thing to the car to hit 10.5's Cam only and see some 1.3 60 foots.
I was cutting 1.41's last visit on the 18's still with the heavy runflats up front.
TSWs are getting sold(even though i loved the wheels)
Collecting stuff for the new setup.
More stuff on the way!

How do you like the driveablity on the kaotik cam with the stock heads? Im trying to see what I want to do with this 6.0 I have and a 370 with l92 heads has been in my mind and Vengeance has recommended that cam to me a few months back.

The car honestly drives great i think. I would imagine without the 2.56 gears it would drive around town even better.
Considering the large cam, 2.56 gears, and 3800 stall, its pretty damn good.
