Very nice.
Must be a handful to launch.
You should see 9's with some practice and good conditions.

I did my first track test (real track not street) last weekend
and mangaged:

60 1.667
1/8 ET 6.679
1/8 trap 108,7
1/4 ET 10.405
1/4 trap 138

Track was 1800 feet elevation
CCW drag pkg. and coil over setup, and i was very happy with my 60 foot :-)

I was also quite pleased with 1/8 mile time, but was expecting a lower ET on
1/4 mile ?

How does it look ?

Two major questions:

1. Is your car an A4 and if yes, are you running the built ROSSLER TRANNY?

2. Was this accomplished with et streets and the bias ply skinnines that CCW is famous for selling with their drag rims?

Thanks and i am GREEN WITH ENVY![/QUOTE]

Thanks, i am a happy "big boy"

Q1 Yes my car is A4, and it is delivered from FLP, it is Level IV

Q2 Yes, a big thanks to John @ CCWheels, they hook fantastic :-)

Congrats Rune!!
Those are some good numbers, and I'm sure you will be able to improve on them.
Keep us all posted.

Ed
Yes i also believe there is room for improvement, i think i was running in the low octane spark table, due to some knock caused by oil consumption
into engine.

So new turbos from LPE, a little more boost, better 60 foot and then i will be
the first street car in Norway into the 9s.
Boost will be limited to 12 psi, but new turbos will make sure turbo pressure not dropping as RPM increase :-)

Last two weeks the two largest car magazine has been over for interview and take pictures.
I will send a copy to you Ed, as soon as i get my hand on them :-)

Take care and do not forget to send info on turbo swap.....
