Cool Going to the track with my new engine

Well, this will be my fist run on my new engine. I put about 1500 miles on it so far, so it should be nice and broken in. I'm hoping for 12's with my set-up ('94 Formula A4):
descreened MAF, throttle coolant bypass, airfoil, morrosso CAI, CC 1.6 RR's, heads are bowel blended and pocket ported, 11.1 comp. forged pistons, LT4 hotcam, LT4 KM, edlebrock headers and Y pipe, Borla catback (blocked off), Vigilante 2800 Stall, 245/16 nitto DR...I think that's all. It ran 13.9 at 101 with a K+N FIPK and Borla, before I blew the engine. The only thing I need to worry about is the launch, the Vigilante hits hard! What do you all think it will run???? I'll keep you all posted on my times. Later

I have a friend who has about the same set up as you and has run 12.6 at 108 with Nitto's.

Good luck have fun!!!

Well, I just got back and did'nt run as well as I should have. I just found a header leak, and my wires are arching and I still got stock programming.

Best e.t. was 13.4, best MPH was 104.3. My 60 fts were averaging 2.1(spinning). Maybe in a few weeks I'll do better when I fix all the problems and launch better. later
