Default new time for a4 vert

finally got my 05 a4 vert out with gears and converter. I only had 2 runs today and there is ALOT of tuning of the shifts and lock up to get it all dialed in. mods are: 05 a4 vert ls3 heads,custom cam, l76 intake, lt headers hi flow cats, z06 mufflers. 3500 yank converter, 3.42 c5 diff. first run was 11.29 banging the rev limiter at 7100(even though I commanded 6500 shift) on the 1-2 shift. next run was 11.231@ 121.56 with a 1.65 60' eighth was 7.20@97.26 even with both shifts still too high. hopefully I can get this thing to pull a lil more mph thru the traps. im pretty sure it will go 11.0s with a lil more tuning and better air (da was 2000).

Nice runs. I have similar mods. I always wanted the LS3 heads on my vert. but I'm stuck now. I have a Fast 102 and can't justify the expense of a new fast with heads to the wife.
