Thats really good power on pump gas. My car with similar setup but E85 made 450hp/472tq and ran 11.0s@125. Would have gone 10s in better air. I was impatient and moved on to the next round of mods.

No matter what I think with E85 we can take top spot in the bolt on class. We shall see

We began this project with the intent to get 500whp with bolt ons only. E85 may not get us there in this A8 but I am pretty confident that we can replicate this package and make 490whp in A8 and over 500whp in M7 cars.

Sick run without the E85 it now proves that the M7 performs just as good as the a8 woh same mods
Seems like the ported intake and TB helped a lot

This is my first Auto car since my first vette in 1997. This A8 is the real deal

My tire pressure was 32lbs (stock basiicly), and I did a small tire cleaning burnout after backing into the waterbox. I attribute the 11.8 to a perfect staging, which gave me the most rollout possible. I just kissed the second lights.

I did three runs my first time out, used launch control all three times, and I had two 11.9's and an 11.8 (Post #588 on previous page - with video).

Yep, exactly. Bolting together a LS7 motor and typing don't always work out. What you said is what I meant. Staying deep and barely tripping the second light is what I was getting at.

That 1.53 was done on the foot brake @ approx. 2200 rpm launch. In the thread that I posted the time slip in I said that I still thought there was a little left to get-ya. If you have not seen the thread and are interested it should be easy to find.
