did i understand that this was your first trip to the 1/4? Not too bad for a newb! To sum it up...
You have a 2011 grandsport coupe with a6
you have arh headers w/cats thru npps
you have nitto nt05s
you have the lg motorsports g6xb complete blower cam kit
you have the edelbrock 1591 supercharger
you have upgraded from 52lb to 65lb injectors
you changed from the 3.5" to the 3" pulley
you upgraded the fuel flow to feed both rails
"the tuning school" tuned your car with a 584rwhp final number on a conservative tune
you are running 14 degrees up top with an afr of 11.7-ish
did i miss anything?

Well that should silence a naysayer or two for a while....one in particular comes to mind. Guess you overcame the....
- "Heat Soak Pig"
- "Can't use all of that torque that early"
- "All of that extra weight"
- "Blower is maxed out"
- "Loss of boost pressure during shifts"
...and whatever else I may have missed recently.
Congrats
so much for those 
myths... !!

E-force noise
Great times!I also read your thread regarding the Rattle in your e-force.I have a 1593 unit on my 07 / a6 coupe,same rattle or growl
that you describe.Notice it only at running temp while slowing to a idle.
Edelbrock said it was a normal vibration.I've got about 1000 mi. on it and it has gotten much better.I have no other complaints.My car is stock except for exhaust.Love it!

It's not the quarter mile runs that cause the heat soak. It's the idle time and burnout before the runs that are the culprits. That makes sure everything is nice and hot before the quarter ever starts. I've run the snot out of mine on the street in 95 degree heat and never saw any excessive heat or timing pulled. The difference on the street was that I had air going through the h/e before the runs and did no burnout.

moving air across the heat exchanger is the key

What really kills it is when you cut the engine off after making the pulls and the airflow and intercooler pump stops. After 15 minutes of the key off it's not uncommon to see 140+ IAT's...

Even the idle time and burnout isn't that bad on it, I can make 4 back to back dyno pulls after allowing the engine to get warmed up to 200ECT, the first pul will start at ~80 IAT, at the start of the 4th pull the IAT will still be below 110.

Just got back from a thousand mile trip. The vette averaged over 26mpg (hand calculated) for the entire trip. Got over 30 on one tank with a tail wind and slow speeds (60 mph speed limits across a Louisiana swamp on elevated section of I-10/12). That's just amazing to have something that runs this strong that is still our "economy" car.
