Dragraced (slowly)

[rhock99@epix.net (rhock99@epix.net)]

Don't feel bad, my 88 16v has only run a best of 16.99 with the TT race downpipe, TT cat-back (Flowmaster muffler), TT Fuel enrichment.
I had the timing checked by the local VW shop, and they said it's ok.  Supposedly, they checked intercam timing too, but I think I'm going to do it myself some time to make sure.  Next up is a compression test, though.  Hey, my tach is dead too, maybe that's why it's so slow ;-)
