You should be able to anyway .

Re: I need more low end torque.....

Your prolly right, the only time we have raced was when I first got my ls1 and i didn't really know what i was doing seeing that I went from a v6 to a ls1 v8. I was used to being able to just lay on the gas pedal and not worry about the tires spinning but it is a whole different thing with the v8. Any tips on launching without spinning with a A4??? Thanks again for all the information.

Start out with about 1/2 throttle and gradually feed it in. Should be able to floor it like this in about 20 or 30ft.

For some reason My LS1 seems to grip better then my LT1 . If I stomp the LT1 from a roll it will white smoke the tires " geared"
It was damn near impossible for me to pull a 2.2 60 with the Z . seemed like it was always on a slick surface . But on the TA sometimes it feels like it shouldnt be getting traction when it is becasue it is pulling so hard .
Of course now that it is cammed it wants to break free when it hits 4k in the first 2 gears But thats a whole other ball game .
