Now I remember why it looked like I couldn't launch....ha ha ha

I had a bad tune and my car was shifting incorrectly, along w/ a number of things. I tried to retune my car, since I felt MTI had left some power on the table, but didn't realize MTI shuffles their tables around. ha ha ha That was a day at the track I would like to forget though that drive home was depressing.

This will give you an idea of what's going on:

AFR 205cc Heads (milled to 62cc) w/ Dual Springs
Fast 90mm LSX Intake
LG2 90mm TB
Powerbond U/D Pulley
TR-55xi Spark Plugs
MSG Wire
30# SVO Fuel Injectors
.045 Cometic Gaskets
17x9.5 ZO6 Wheels wrapped in 275/40/17R MT E/T Streets (Had them mounted today)

Recently Installed:

Stage IV Tranny (rated @ 600rwhp)
DTE Strut Brace
ZO6 Diff
Left Side HO Shaft
Sport Drilled and Slotted Rotors
Powdercoated Calipers
HKS Brakes

What's staying:

LPE 228 Cam
Dynatech LT w/ HF cats
Vararam
Borla Quads
3200 Stall

I'd say I should be at about 430-440rwhp/400-410rwtq thru my A4. My best before was 12.0 @ 114mph w/ a 1.82 60' with 400/385 and 3.15 gears (blown gasket & bad tune). This year the one time out w/ the same mods, I hit 12.19 @ 112 w/ a 1.96 60' so I wonder what I'll hit now w/ the new stuff???

well since I just happened to read this thread and I am the so call "no show" I am defending myself in that I called twice on friday and got no answer so rather then installing new injectors and getting stuck with no car I figured Ellis was busy and did the next thing on the "to do list" which happened to be working on the landscape. anyhow I finally got through and Ellis and I got the 42lb injectors in and now we need to figure out when to finnish tuning it. he got it to where I can get down the road but is in bad need of some fine tuning. we did good considering in 1 hr and about 15 minutes we put the injecotrs in and changed the injector flow rate and did a quick test run to make sure it ran. Yeah it was late on a week night. ~Guy
