Nice runs. Congrats! Are you serious about trying to run leaner than 11.7?

Not sure about the 11.7 . The tuning school said it was rich and timing was low. I will let them set it up. I am not sure if my wide band is working properly. They are going to retune today

The 11.7 was his final WOT AFR. There are areas along the graph where the values get down aroun 10.25 that could use some touch-up.

Great runs there! Is that on the stock stall converter? 1.59 and 1.61 are excellent 60 ft. times if that is a stock converter. Also, did your A6 tune use the torque control (TCM)?

- "Loss of boost pressure during shifts"
...and whatever else I may have missed recently.
Congrats
My tvs has consistant 1/4 mph.
