How do you guys think I am doing? I went to the track for the first time ever a few months back. With my mods how do you guys think I am doing? Am I on track with my mods or do I seem slow?

1/8 8.529

Re: How do you guys think I am doing? Times seem pretty good looks like you need to get your 60 ft times down. If you could get them down to 1.9s or 1.8s you should go 12s pretty easy. If you are running a street tire you should at least try a nitto drag radial or et streets that would get your 60s down good luck.

Re: How do you guys think I am doing? Doesn't look too far off to me. The ~107mph trap speed seems right on par for an A4 car with the mods you've done (considering you mentioned that it was awhile back and the weather wouldn't have been as cool).
Time to throw a converter in that puppy and really wake it up! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: How do you guys think I am doing? You would probably see some time increase with a converter and the gsc's. The one thing you would have to think about is the higher stall speed from the converter is probably going to spin the tires more on launch. Sticky tires is one of the best investments for drag racing. What size wheels do you have? I have a set of 245/50r16 nitto drag radials that have been to the strip 4 times i am buying et streets. I would make you a very good deal they have about 90 percent tread. personal opinion get sticky tires and a converter then you will really see some gains <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Re: How do you guys think I am doing? Good times JAY. my best times are in sig-stock with free mods,but also in late September early Oct. Not able to post those #'s in the heat . I think your times are right on . Cold air with convertor and tires -possibly mid 12's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
