Default 60' times with Nittos and 2.73 rear

I went to the track earlier this week. It was the first time I've made it out there with my TC (3200 Vig) and Nittos when the weather was sub-80*. It was a beautiful, cool day, somewhere around 60* with low humidity.

I was able to get seven runs in. The very last run sucked because I had already aired up my tires because I was going to leave, then I decided to try to squeeze one more run in. So that run I pulled a 1.904 60' time and ran 12.84 @ 106.7, the slowest of my day.

My other six runs I felt were pretty good though. My 60' times were pretty consistent. They were all 1.744 - 1.778, my ETs were all 12.620 - 12.702. Anyway, most everyone has told me that for my mods (331rwhp) with an A4 and 2.73 gears those 60' times are pretty freaking good. I did get one guy say they sounded disappointing to him.

For any of you guys with similiar mods (especially TC, Nittos, and 2.73 rear), what kind of 60' times are you pulling? Or, for everyone, what kind of times do you SEE being pulled with similiar cars?

I have pulled 1.78 on 245/50ZR16 Kuhmo Ecsta 712's

1.73 is my best on Hoosiers.


Very few bolt-ons and Midwest 3200 stall.

I used to pull 1.70s with my old TCI 2800stall and no cam running 12.40s at 110mph with 273s gears, your times seem pretty good to me.

That seems about the norm, from what I see on the track. The best that I have pulled down on the Nitto DR is a high 1.6. Same rear gear as you.

What 60ft would you likely get with Nittos and 3.73 gears. Is it possible to get a consistant 1.6.

Jim, what kind of times are you running in the 1/4? Just wondering who the fastest Stock internal 2.73 is.

Bravo, Nice times. I was right around there with Nittos and Yank SS3600




All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:45 PM.
