The A4 is in the Z!
Its finally in! Rodney@ RPM and his guys bailed me out in my A4 install. They did an amazing job and quick too! It looks like the car came with an auto. I have a little bit more trans tuning to do to suit my personal tastes but man am I loving it!
My Yank SS4000 feels just as strong as the last one!
ok.... now to the nuts....
After driving the car this weekend I predict it WILL run 10.8s (and maybe better). I also think it will be 1.4 60s as well.My only reservation on quicker is that I only have my tiny tires from the black vert to try it. The only mod done so far is headers because I was too lazy to put the manifolds back on just to run it once. I have NOT tuned it at all other than turning the rear O2s off because I left them off. I am still running cats and the stock muffs. I have not installed the CAI or anything else.
The weather is looking good for a wednesday night test and tune so I will be there to test her out.
In about 2 weeks the heads and cam and CAI and PTB are going in and hopefully I can start climbing the Z06 fast list!

I bet this is not the pic you want Jeff...lol...it is uuuuugly
I'm having a intermittent mis fire code too. Does anyone know if HP will identify the trouble cylinder? I checked the boots several times and one of them is touching the header... not sure if it can spark thru that much rubber or not.

Nice. 
I think those 275s (especially if those Hoosiers are still fresh, and I think they are) might still get it done, until you do the heads & cam at least. Remember, bigger wheels/tires = more weight/rotating mass as well.
As for the misfire code, be sure to check your plugs and coil packs as well of course.

My DRs are over a year old. I saved them all last summer and fall to use at MIR. I wanted to do a lot of things(remove front sway etc) but it is going bone stock except headers for this trip. Forecast is good for tomorrow so I should get to run.

Goodluck tonite, depending on the DA I have a feeling it'll be faster than you predicted!

Why not spin it to 7k like stock, to help with poor shift extension of A4?
Hope the track holds a better launch lol. They prepping at all or are there any big tire cars you can run behind that might lay down some rubber?
