Default Yep, the little A6 that could... hit 10s!

Broke into the 10s last night, with a crappy 2-3 shift to boot.

its been a long process, but i want to say thank you to everyone here that helped with suggestions, especially with getting my 60's down.

consistent 1.6's now.

the car ran 11.3 @ 120 on 94 pump @ 22psi, put in 2 Gal of C16, upped the boost to 29psi, ramped up the timing 4-5 degrees.... 10.9 @ 127

Just looked at your timeslip again. Looks like you were crossing the beams when the other driver was at the 1/8th, lol!

Good work man.

Get that 60' down a bit lower and you'll go 10.7's as it sits.

Love seeing more basic D's gettin in the 10's.

Welcome.

ya, get the 60 to low 1.6s or 1.5s, and remember to shift a little later in 2nd... lol... i was so nervous i would get booted after my pass (no cage)... i think it had 10.8 in it easy with more appropriately timed shifting.


oh, and thanks... it feels nice to be here.

here are a few.

i fabbed everything on this car, from the traction bar to the turbo manifold, from the down pipe and exhaust to the catch can. assembled the motor myself, etc etc. its been a good learning experience.





was still using an MSD coil at this point... using only a dizzy now. but this is a good overall shot of the setup.

the 4 inch down pipe was a PITA to fit. lol



one last pic... yeah, i built this thing on gravel and dirt, and assembled the motor in my back yard... lol
