Default First time at track with automatic...

1999 trans A4: Lid, K&N filter, LT, ORY, e-cutout (NA RUN)


I only got a few NA runs in tonight and my first pass was my best pass.

2.0567- 60ft
5.7658- 330ft
8.7400- 1/8 et
83.64-- 1/8 mph
13.4689- 1/4 et
103.94- 1/4 mph


It felt sluggish off the line, but I guess an A4 with 3.23's will feel like that.

I was just going from brake to gas when tree turned green. The only thing I can think of to improve my 60' time, which would improve my et is to brake stage it at the line.... Didn't really get enough passes to try testing that out.

I am also running street tires (goodyear eagle f1's) but I see no need for drag radials because off the line full throttle is doesn't spin at all, for my nitrous runs that might be a different story though.

Get drag radials. Atleast a nitto or something. You are spinning. Look at your 60'.

The 60 looks about right for a a4 with 323's and stock converter . Could maybe get a little better .Might get a high 1.9 at best . I think that DA is killing you . Mine stockish with 273's , lid and cat back went 13.4 in a 895 da .
