Default Thanks Doug for getting me closer to 9s! So close!

Thanks to Doug for the tune and Tommy for inviting me to your rental. Doug's tuning got me to run my personal best of 10.00@141.88

ECS Paxton Novi 1500 (no restrictor plate)
1 7/8" American Racing Header
Methanol Injection and your tune!
Stock A6 trans, converter and rear.

I couldn't have done it without your help and ECS for doing the modifications.

Wow Artie, that's a HUGE new best, just a mere .005mph lower gust of head wind and that's a 9.9999.
Congrats.

Was this still on the full size fronts or did ya use the skinnies?

I did have breakfast. But, I didn't have lunch and wouldn't eat the double burgers or hot dogs Rob was serving. Although, they were smelling great. Skinnies, no breakfast or some wind would have netted it.

Artie, sorry I was not paying attention with all the BS that my car was giving me with not starting. If I had known you could have used my skinnies as I did not have them on my car most of the day and it would have been nice to see another car's performance with them to compare to. Good job in any case..

He would've gone at worst a 9.90 and probably a very high 142mph with your skinnies on the car.

Well, they're not actually steel of course but they are still quite heavy.

Oh, that Digital Corvettes thread from like two years ago ya mean?
I remember I was among the doubters as well (back then I'd thought the best your car would ever go was 10.4s/10.3s with the stock converter) but I was proven wrong quite some time ago LOL.
