Default Proof that Dyno numbers dont mean crap

Went to Steele (AID) yesterday, the weather was perfect, sunny, cool and low humidity, was afraid to go at first, figured my crappy dyno numbers (275rwhp/335rwtq) would only yield low 14's for a near stock A4 car with 2.73, so exited i ran:

60'................2.095
1/8 ET...........8.586
1/8 MPH.........85.91
1/4 ET...........13.10
1/4 MPH........108.13

What do you think? this was on no name street tires, mods in the sig, thanks to Gomer the car pulled like mad on top end

Well, a bunch of guys have run high 12s on completely stock LS1s, so yours looks about right for one with tuning.
