Default 13.6 at the best

I am having driving. I couldnt get the start good. Once I got that down I couldnt shift into 3rd. I only made 4 passes. The best rt was .14. I have a stock rear and gears. I have LTH's ORY SLP LID AND BELLOWs. BBK intake and TB. Tuned at 345hp/355 tq. I was hoping for 12's but I realized I couldnt drive. Oh well. I have koni suspension should I have the front soft and rear stiff for drag? I had the best luck with rear stiff.

Suspension plays a huge roll in hooking up yes. However with your mods it sounds like you just need some seat time at the track - guessing you have a manual?

yea manual yea street tires and yea I do need more track time to get good, but I am not really interested in tearing up my tires! I am thinking that I need to maybe upgrade my clutch but I am really not worried about having a 11 sec car. I am going to put my money into my NOVA. I am not worried about tearing that up at the track.

Tires and wheels make a huge difference on my car. I dont know what you have but maybe its part of the problem.

I only managed 14.1 at 101 all day with induction mods on 17" zr1's switched to some gm 16x8 all around with drag radials and ran 13.38 at 106. I had a partial tune but most of it was the weight of the wheels, the car feels a lot different without the weight. Im hoping for high 12's with exhaust. Then maybe low 11's with dart heads, stall and built trans, cam, pulley, and an intake and tb upgrade. Will have to get something wider once I get some more upgrades but it works for now. My car is a A4 if it matters.

May be a little of what might be holding you back.
