Quick HELP!!

Going to race a new c6 in the '03 on sat. need any quick tips to win. I plan on going out to practice launch before race. New c6 is stock a4 my c5 is also a a4 but we I have a Borla aft cat. My thoughts are that the c5 has been broken in and I have the aft cat but any quick tricks to give me the edge please!

Better get some naws real quick, not sure if your broken in C5 has 50 more HP and 2 more gears, the new C6 is an A6.

Your toast. Give him sleeping pills an hour before the race.

Do you have the performance axle, and him not? That's your only edge. Cat back give you next to nothing.

lol...this is pretty much what I figured. I saw a couple guys do a 125 shot of nitrous install in about 2 hrs. maybe... haha. yes I have the perf. axle dont know if he does. Hes not the greatest driver either so I was hoping to destroy him outta the hole and pray he dont catch up. I figure go in with as little weight as possible and launch the hell outta it. ex. 1/8 or less of fuel, pull all the little panels out of the back and everything in them. Was hoping to get a programmer before race but that fell through that was my only hope i think, i'll **** before the race too! haha. That will get me at least a .1 lol

edit... the c6 didnt have a6 until 06 and his is 05 so its still the 4l80e

I'd say your best bet is to find someone with the same color car as you that has modded the heck out it, and borrow it for the race....

Bottle it. Get some AR472 spark plugs, get a single nozzle dry shot, and peg the MAF. Doing this, I was still running rich with a 150 shot, but with no tuning, I wouldnt trust over a 125 shot.
