Default Need help running car's best time

Okay guys,

I am running a 2002 Z28 A4 with 3.23 gears, and the following mods:

Free Ram Air
Nitto 555R 245/50/16
Rear seats, spare, windshield washer reservoir, and jack removed
SLP air lid
Ported MAF
ls1 edit tuning by combination motorsports

under 2200 ft. elevation, I have run a 13.03@107mph, with a 2.0 60 ft.

I'm thinking I can do better, I achieved my best time by leaving transmission in the (D) position, and having the rear tires at 30psi.

Practice makes perfect.

You might wanna invest in a set of long tubes and a nice free-flowing exhaust.

Are u stalling it up and then standing on it at the line? Cause with a nitto you should be able to, but u may have to drop a couple PSI with tire pressure

I had the best luck with them between 15 and 18psi. and do a good burnout.
