Default 2 questions???

I have a 97 coupe 3.15 gears A4 Stock except for a zip tie. I'm adding a 100 dual nozzle dry shot. Should this be enough to run in the 12's assuming nothing out of the ordinary happens? I'm also adding a window switch probably set at 3000 low and 5800 high and will have the ability to block out first gear if needed. What is the best window switch to do what I want? thanks-chuck

I used a bmn controller with optional first gear lockout. I have a 2001 with a 6spd. I had a catback only with 100 shot wet, and went 12.025@124 on street tires. A decent driver could have easily gotten my car in the 11's. You will definately get in the 12's even if you drive as badly as I do.

I forgot the name of the product , but if you PM JAvery20 he will tell you. He is a nice guy and very helpful.He has installed the same in his vette. I think 12s should be in your future with a 100 shot/sticky tires.

you can use the bmn or fjo controller to do what you are wanting with the 1st gear lockout and window switch. schnitz racing also makes a similar product. i can't remember if it incorporates 1st gear lockout or not. 12's should be pretty easy.

Should be able to knock an easy 1 second or more off your time. Have you got your nozzle placement mapped out, because it will have a bearing on your a/f. Let me know if ya need any help.

Thanks guys! Robert, I have also posted over on the LS1 Tech site and think I have a handle on the nozzle placement. They are directed at the descreened MAF about 4-5 inches away. Chuck.
