updated on my car...
well not sure if any of you guys care, but I figured I would post an update on how she's running. took her to the track about 2 weeks ago to see what she would do after fiddling with timing and fuel again. This time the car responded well to the changes I made. best run of the night was a 12.88@109 spinning out of the hole. I also got a 12.9@111mph on the following pass. I should get my new injectors and MAF in later this week or early next week. Then I'll be able to really crank the boost and see what she can do!
I don't know much about drag racing. Is that a good reaction time? It appears that the guy next to you was a bit quicker. Will the mods you make help your reaction time? Do people drink Red Bull before they run? I wonder if that helps.
Your ET sounds pretty fast though. If you had the same reaction time as the other guy would your time be in the low 12s? Or is the ET the time from the moment you trip the lights to the moment you pass the finish?

from what i learned, reaction time dont matter unless your trying to finish first. you can sit there 10 sec. after the light turned green and still run the same time you usually clock.
red bull? maybe i should try that...lol (funny stuff)

with red bull, you might get a red light which would be worse than a bad reaction time. nice running reg.

yeah I forgot to mention that it's an Audi. I guess a lot of the newer guys don't know who I am. I'm the big moke that drive the black audi. I usually park next to the DSM's and the Red Viper in the pits.
Barry-yup still beating on this car. I kinda left it alone for almost a year after I blew the stock turbos. Now that I got it working again the sickness has start over again. Once I get the rest of the suspension and brakes in I should be running the super lap series and other stuff. What you up to man?
