Mods and Dynos!!!!!!
Please correct me if I'M wrong, but there is no sticky for modifications and dynos. We have 1/4 mile times, but some people can't get to the track and some don't wish to track their cars. Is it possible to post a sticky for mods and dyno numbers. I think this will alleviate some "what works" questions. We can post year, engine, mods and dyno numbers. Just a thought. This way, new Corvette owners who wish to mod, can get an idea of which parts actually gave them power.

A6 LS2
K&N, Ported FAST 90, Catless Longtubes, Borla Stingers and tuning
The numbers are with an unlocked 3200 yank converter (reads lower dyno #s)
SAE Corrected on Dynojet: 387/396
Someone with a stock converter would dyno higher...but I like to get it done where it counts; at the track
It ran 11.5 @ 119 before the Ported FAST 90....just need to get back out now.

Essentially drivers mod, intake, catless headers, axel back exhaust and tune and you got a under 12 second car??
Mod section would be great I second this....

I think this is a great idea! I'll provide the two numbers I have so far (note that she appeared to be pretty strong out of the box):
2005 A4 (2.73)
Borla Multicore Over-axle, LPE CAI
360 rwhp / 359 rwtq
2005 A4 (2.73)
Borla Multicore Over-axle, LPE CAI, LG Street Series LTs, LG High-flow Catted X-Pipe, 160 stat, LG Dyno Tune
375 rwhp / 379 rwtq
2005 A4 (2.73)
Borla Multicore Over-axle, LPE CAI
360 rwhp / 359 rwtq

The 11.5 was before my Ported FAST 90, Underdrive Pulley and new tune (which is better).
Shooting for 10.9 on boltons in the next 2-3 weeks. If I swap my heavy aftermarket wheels out for skinnies up front it should be fairly easy to accomplish.
If I could only run 11.0 with a full bolton+cam car I think I'd be depressed, lol.

With Lg Super Pro headers (stock mufflers), vararam, and tune I made 392whp/394tq and went 11.6 at 118mph. I have since added a cam and made 440whp/417tq and got one pass where I didnt even launch and went 11.37 at 123.7mph before getting booted for no cage. I'm adding a fast 102 and 4.10 gears and going for 10's and 470whp.

You'll get there!

Porting your FAST is worth it, it's more time consuming than genious work, but it makes a big diff., & I consider it free hp since I did mine myself. Your E.t. goals are w/ in reach, but seems like a tuff # to achieve in gen. I'm frnz w/ Joe G. & he worked his azz off to get there, but finally did. The FAST will make more power, especially where you need it for goal for e.t. & so will the gears, but the gears at the same time will adversely affect hp#s, which are pretty meaningless given current power vs. e.t. Very impressive!
BTW, funny re: the roll bar. My local track we usually rent for a day on early on a Fri., so their pretty loosy goosy re: roll bars, I have yet to get thrown off, but, I have gotten a fare amount of timeslips w/ "NEEDS ROLL BAR" in red ink! Lol. I have a 'vert to boot, which brings the e.t & speed way up on regs., it may around 14 sec.

Atco is pretty easy on the roll cage rule, but I was running a pretty big event that day and I had no clue what the car was going to do and first pass was the 11.37 pass and they said slow it up or get out so I dialed 11.55 and broke out with an 11.47 at 92mph.
