Vette-air
I put a vette-air "ram-air" scoop on the car to feed air to the K&N cold air intake.
It seems to pick up a bit of power from a roll, but I'll see for sure when I get back to the track.
I'm hoping to crack 118mph once it gets cool again.

Traction problem solved!
Through some research we've found that it is in the tune on the A6 vettes.
The timing ramps up INCREDIBLY slow on launch and it can be tuned out in the spark fields. I have yet to put it into my car, but another person is testing it out at the track tonight after some street tuning yesterday....we feel it's the answer.
Going back to the track asap and hopefully coming back with some 1.7 60s and high 11s.

Too much traction...
Well the DR's took me from one end to the other. I went from no traction to too much traction.
Even at 30psi and only a 1-2 second burnout it would deadhook and just slowly crawl out (1.95 60s...same as I was able to get on runflats).
I'll go back next time at 30psi and do NO burnout and see if I can get them to spin a little out of the hole and keep the RPMs up.
So no new bests yet, just some more 12.3s...

I Think Your Rite about the timing.
Rock on...
Thanks...I've got a few more pictures I need to upload but haven't had a chance to get around to it.
Car looks great Shawn!
Too much traction is just as bad as too little traction my dear frito
I'll get it next time though to run a little harder. More pressure, less burnout, faster 60
Car looking damn good shawn , cant belive your 60' dint improve w those drag radials though
