Nice time there yourself man!! I hate to be a "coulda, shoulda, woulda" kind of guy and hence I just ran what I ran as is. I've no idea what it will run now until I go.. but to give you some idea Todd's car trapped 143 in vegas. Maybe mine will trap close to that in Sacramento and I'm also armed with a torque converter that's been revained

Damn man, 140+ traps out of a slushbox 996TT would be unreal! My other car is a 93.5 Supra which has gone 9.9 @ 142.

What do you think a full weight 996 Turbo with K24s, GT2 ICs, GIAC software, AWE exhaust, 100 octane, 515WHP, and drag radials would run at the strip? My S4 ran 11.2 with only 430WHP. I'm thinking maybe 10.7 to 10.9 with 515whp? I ask, because that's probably what I'm gonna do once I get a Turbo.
