Default Help me here, please.

My goal is run atleast 12.9x last night but didn't get it.
My best time is:
60': 2.06
1/4: 13.16 @ 106.82 MPH


60': 2.06
1/4: 13.16 @ 106.70 MPH

60': 2.10
1/4: 13.16 @ 106.75 MPH

60': 2.22
1/4: 13.34 @ 106.25 MPH

60': 2.09
1/4: 13.20 @ 106.57 MPH

60': 2.07
1/4: 13/20 @ 106.31 MPH

60': 2.19
1/4: 13.28 @ 106.55 MPH

60': 2.20
1/4: 13.30 @ 106.54 MPH

I really wish I had sticky soft tires or DRs to launch the car better w/o spinning. I had to launch the car almost bogging to get 2.0 60'. My next mod is bigger stall(shift kit, tranny cooler) and a pair of nittos 555s.

I saw a T/A M6 w/ exhaust/lid/DRs and live tuning software laptop and ran 13.1s-13.2s @ 103-104 MPH consistantly so I think I have more room to go 12.9s

I want to keep my stock rear and its my DD. What do I have to do to get the 12.9?
Mods: lid, TDs, LTs and free mods.

I bet a good tune will get you there. If you dont want to tune the easiest way would be a stall and some sticky tires. You could also do a ported TB and a pulley.

Ported TB is done... Only bolt ons I'm missing is pulley and LS6 IM. I'm thinking of a tune also but how much am I leaving on the table by not doing my tune w/ just full exhaust, lid, filter, and free mods ( P/P-bypass-bumpstop TB, FRA)?? Stall (3500 yank) is my next major mod which will be bought w/ transgo shift kit and tranny cooler early next year.

I would wait until you get the stall to tune then. That way you can optimize your shift points. Many times after a converter is swapped you will hit the rev limiter between shifts. Get the pulley done also, that should be good for a tenth.

After these mods your car should run in the mid 12's all day and be very consistent. With some good tires of course.

Also at your power level dont worry about the rear going out. A4's are pretty easy on the rear end compared to a M6.

DR's or some slicks will help your 60-fts. quite a bit, that alone should help you get your ET, but watch out on that 10-bolt.
