GREAT TIMES!!!! DAMN 2K2'S ARE QUICK THE ULTIMATE SLEEPER
I BELIEVE YOU CAN HIT 14.0 OR MAYBE 13'S with all your mods,
HECK, MY 2K2 AUTO CAN DO 14.69, but i cant ever hit that again , .501 R/T, my closest was 14.72, I need the frankencar.

If you are just going for 1/4 mile times, the R/T doesn't matter. Only when you are racing someone else does the R/T matter because you are racing each other and the first person across wins. But if you are just going for the 1/4 mile time and not racing someone else, the R/T doesn't matter, so the 1/4 mile times should be comparable.

That's an awsome time. I'm still having a hard time comprehending Max's running low 14's stock. That's Audi S4 times. My neighbor has one (auto). He bought an engine chip and trans chip and still only ran 14.8. Think he need to break it in more. Only had a few miles on it. Anyhow, I think I'll wig him out if I beat him. That is, if I buy one soon. Wow!

i think i'm more excited and anxious for you to get back to the track than you are!!!!!!!!!!! next time bring your computer to the track so you can post your times right after you stop--so it's 14.3 with just the frankencar

Yeah. I'll end up being the slowest of the group. No intake, no VB mod (not sure yet), no nothing.
Then again that'd make a good 1/4 comparison dontcha think?

We do? I mean have those problems?
I should be thankful then. 5k so far and nothing seems to be failing. Hit the rev limiter once without a problem. I was cruising at like 5-10mph on 3rd when i downshifted the auto to 1st thinking i was in 2nd gear all the time. Let's just say i overextended my stay at 1st
Btw, can you PM me more info about those oil issues? Thanks.

If you can manage it, manually shift to get the optimum power. Given our stuff starts losing power in the higher rpm range it's best to shift around 3-500rpm before the power starts to decline. The 3-500rpm delay before the tranny actually shifts will put it right at the start of the downward slope in the hp/torque curve.
Torque-braking also helps with the launch. Problem is, can our stock Potenza's grip?

From the threads on the "launch" issue, it seems that an Automagic launch should be just leave it in 3rd and nail it. Maybe a little brake/rev to start? Suggestions? Where is Kev?
