exactly what Im running, except I am still running the stock water pump, stock belt, and I dont think the DA was -500. Congrats to your buddy, thats haulin for a TR230 cam car.

thanks. that was before i lost a ringland . comp 224 cam. 3.73s, VIG 3200, slick and skinnies, turndowns. no real weight reduction other than the exhaust and slicks/skinnies, spare tire. i dont remember if i had the seats out. i threw a pt4400 in and ran 11.30@117? full weight on street wheels and 100% full exhaust. then i broke the trans. then i broke the engine. rebuilt the engine up and got a trans...maybe when i get some money ill start racing again.

but...the point of the story is that i didnt dyno 390 or 400 and still beat many cars including an 03 modded cobra from a roll a couple times. he edged me out a hair a few times if he got the jump.

I know the dead spot that you guys are talking about, i used to have my car tuned to drop to 1st at any speed below 41, and 2nd below 70, and that eliminated the dead spot. If that was done would the outcome from a roll be the same? Im not trying to "make" the A4 win, im just wondering.

id say a properly tuned stall would do good from a roll too and murder from a dig but i guess im a bit biased...

the car was a factory freak went 11.8s stock internals before a lot of people started doing it. that was lid, 3.23, headers, cutout, tuning. now my stock internal time would be bumped off the list by people going 11.6s i sold the converter. i think it went to some military guy that lived in hawaii. i forget. now another local racer has the cam and hes running pretty good with it too. not sure how the new setup is working cause ive only raced it once and my trans kept locking up at the 60'. mid 12s at part throttle on a 2.2. should move pretty good if i launch it and theres no problems. did i mention it has 2.73s now too think the mph was around 114. the part throttle run was the only run that the trans wasnt acting up.
