Talking Taking it to the track tonight.

Finally I get a chance to see what she can do. I just got the used 3.4 in this past Friday, and she is running really good. The engine I got has 72000 miles, and was 400 dollars. I get to keep the old engine too, not that its worth anything with a snapped crankshaft. Oil pump failed.. drove around for 2000 miles and then SNAP.. but the old engine was a dog, always smoked and was always backfiring. This used engine is more responsive and doesnt smoke at start-up. Ill update you guys later on how it goes. Only mod is Flowmaster Cat-back. Its a 1994 3.4l engine, A4. I am hoping mid 16's at least.. hopefully better!, but I doubt it.

Well, kind of disappointed, but oh well. Best time was a 17.1 with a 2.4 short time. Ricer with nitrous blew oil all over staging lanes, so I had to let off a little after launching. There was a 93-97 T/A there with a carbed 393 small block, not an LT1 (pretty sure neways), he had it on street tires and was going from times of 12.5-14.x because of traction problems. It was set up for road racing and nitrous, but he didnt have it on the bottle. Maybe next time I can get a 16.9 out of it.
