H&C 11.61 @119mph
Took BlkTie8 out last weekend here in Michigan. Thanks to Zach and the rest of the gang who organized the Corvette Forum event at Milan Drag.
Anyway, Track prep was horrible, many will vouch for that. But the ET Streets where up to the task to take my dads 2000 A4 Conv. to a best of a 11.61 @119mph. 11.77@118, 11.78@118 and 11.84@118 I was expecting around 11.80's @117, so we where quite happy with the results.
BlkTie is a ET Performance headed small cam street driver which we couldn't get out of the 12's last summer. However a little A/F change on the big end and a little more stall on the converter, really brightened the car up.
So dad when are putting together the 427ci?
Best Regards
John - Bowtie8

It makes great power and I drive it to church and anywhere.
Its not stealthy ,Its fun and ,Reminds me of the big block I had in my chevelle in 1966
Et Heads
They have a set waiting for c5freak
I believe he is passing on the heads until he is sure about his car
If your interested let me know
Rodney crashed 94 built me a trans that just rocks.Probably handle twice the power I'm giving it
Mike Vettezilla talked me into the Vigilante converter (3800) flawless
I was in the Yank camp until I had problems
Good Luck
