What was your reason for going with the 1 3/4 headers?? Also I'm still having a little trouble with the car wanting to stall going from reverse to 1st. The idle is sought at 750. What should I do?? Maybe increase the idle up to 800 or so??

Dennis that's a great time and 60ft for 487rwhp! What other car mods? Seat removal, skinnies, ewp, gears?
I am at 456 thru a stalled A6 88k car, ported 243's and spinmonster cam. I was hitting 11.90's @118 before the heads/cam/ud pulley.
Like the original poster I am hoping to get a 10 sec time slip(need to work on driver mod). Previous rwhp was 378 before the circle d stall, heads/cam/udp.

380rwhp is more than enough to run 11's, so 480's should be enough for 10's with proper track tires and a good driver. Unless you live in higher elevation. The times Dennis is running with the same hp level is outstanding.
