Default what 1/4 times to expect

I've got a 99 z28 A4 with flomaster exhaust, whisper lid, cold air and maf. A tci streetfighter installed and 3:73 rear end about to be fitted in place of the 2:73. With 275/40x17 BFG drag radials what sort of time should I be looking at?

I would guess 12.50's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

What is your weight? Stock cam?

Weight is about 3750 including me at the wheel with a stock cam. I plan on shedding some of the weight (the cars, not mine) by losing the front seats with all the electric motors etc and swapping them for lightweight race buckets.

12.9 with bad shift points. 12.6 with good ones.

Take out the jack and spare for track runs.

Your pretty heavy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I would agree with PSJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> High 12's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I think the sign on name gives it away - I weigh 200lbs. Better start stripping the car.

What constitutes a good shift point? And what else would anyone recommend I strip from the car to shed weight (apart from me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> )
