What should it run???

I just picked up a 97 A4 Corvette 2.73 gear.

Mods are:
243 heads
Ls6 intake
VRX5 cam
obx longtube
obx cat-back
3000 stall

The car will be on 315/30/18 BFG drag radials.

Thanks

How do you like that cam with the 2.73s? I have the same cam with a M6 & 3.90s and it hits like a ton of bricks at 3500.

The cam's not so great with the 2.73 when it shifts from 1st to 2nd it gets out of the power briefly. With some 3.42's I think it will be better.

Why the ****ty et with a decent mph. The car will probably 60ft in the 1.7's just from the feel.

not too sure the 1.7's are possible with the gear (sorry). I was only getting about 1.8's -AFTER- I changed gears to 342's. now
I'm now running 373's.

what sort of times are you getting with your TT?

After reading Mark-44's post with him running an 11.73 with 2.73's . . . I have Absolutely NO idea anymore
