Very good...I thought you'd be low 13s with a decent launch for sure.

I'm sure you will be in the 12s eventually

85 air temp at 8:00 PM Humidity was about 55%
I'm redoing the purge line to run down by my intake, so when I purge it may take out some of the heat by the intake. Probably nothing measurable but why just purge into the air.

Can't wait to read about your next run.

I am waiting for my NYTREX kit to come in so I can have some fun!!

I'll let you know when I get to Cecil. Capitol is only 5 miles from work so it works out great for me. Cecil is two tolls and about 45 minutes.

So when are you going to make your next try for 12s? I can't wait to see it.

Since a posi for the 2012 A6 diff or gears are not available yet. I am going to get another set of rims and some drag radials and try it in few weeks. I have a feeling it is only going to be a one tire fire from the get, but I'm going to give it a try. I have a nitrous controller from my motorcycle I might get out of the attic and try it on this system. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Try this. Do a burn out and just let the one tire spin. Backup and do another and the tire that spun before should have better traction and either they both will spin or the other one will. Either way, you have got both tires warmed up and cleaned off.
