Default 125 Dry shot Track Results!

Before I get into the story here are my mods:

2005 C6 A4
Nittos Invos (Made by God!)
1 7/8 Kooks headers - no cats
Vararam intake
Cam - Mild..very mild
Dual Dry Shot 125
EFI Live tuned by Me!

Track:

Houston Raceway Park
Little Humidity
73 degrees....nice cool night

On to the story:

So my boss wanted to visit the track and run his Shelby GT and as most of you know I am a race junky and of course say "hell yeah". I have a full bottle and running on some nitto invos (street tires not DR's) plus the weather was great.

I approach the box, go around the water and heat up my nittos until i see white smoke. I let up on the pedal and let the car take itself up the the staging beams. I was in the left lane and a blazer SS in the right. One beam....two beam....bring rpms up to 1100 (stock stall) and 1..2...3...floor it! The Trailblazer SS jumps out a full 1.5 cars (AWD FTW). I look over and was like WTF!!!! Nitrous activates at 2100 rpm and the car slams me in the seat, this never happens on the street. That blazer no longer looks impressive and in fact seems as if he hit the brakes...well he didnt, it was just me going that much faster.

The car screams down the quarter and I notice my injectors must be maxed out because on the top end i notice my AF ratio creep up a little. I stay in it as its not really a big deal and trigger the 1/4 lights. I tried to look over as I crossed but couldnt see the board. Run felt good but didnt know how good.

I pull up the old lady in the booth at the end of the track to get my ticket. She looks at my car...looks at the ticket..she looks in the car....looks at the ticket...she looks at me and says "Pull over there and wait". ****, I'm thinking maybe something happened to my car and i put liquid on the track.

Some track guy walks over with my slip...radios the tech guys up front and describes my car. He hands over the slip and this is what i see.

R/T.........663
60".........1.821
330.........4.881
1/8.........7.356
MPH........99.15
1000......9.505
1/4........11.316
MPH.......123.93

I now know why he pulled me over. No more track time for me until I get a cage!!! Hell yeah!!!! I can live with that!!!! I tell the guy, I am leaving so dont worry about me trying to run the quarter again and he said alright.

In my mind this is a 10 second car with drag radials. Once i get injectors I am going to slap on MT's up to a 150 dry shot.

BTW...this was my third run. Because I tuned the car initially in the hot weather, this really cool night messed with my tune and I was running lean the first two runs but still managed 11.7's on both with 1.99 60's and highest trap being 124.22. I still have a lot left in the car especially on the timing side. Running a measly 19 degrees.

good job on street tires, but do you really need injectors?

Well, the only reason I want injectors is so that I can up the shot to 150.

And for those who are looking for tires...Please look into the nitto invos. They hook amazingly on the street and now obviously on the track.
