1/8th mile times
I finally got some 1/8th mile times. They are not the best but I suppose everyone has to start somewhere. My best time of the day was 8.54@85.5 mph. 2.06 60 ft. I need E/T streets!

I just installed my TCS 4200 and a B&M Supercooler. Things should really start to get interesting now! I can't wait to get back to the track, and try this setup out!

lol....no im not on Mt Everest, im actually 50ft above sea level. I imagine with some dr's i can get in the 8's, but my deal is how can everyone else run those times with street tires and i cant ill go back and practice on my launch, i still bogg a bit.

I am not trying to rub it in but, I ran a 7.96 @ 90 mph on stock F-1's. I have an advantage though. I have a A4. If you practice your lauching you can definately get down some. Go on a back road and do it over and over until you get the hang of it. It will be different at the track but you should get an idea of what to do. Just my .02.

congrats on the first slips! my car (when stock ) did 8.50s with a bunch of 2.0 60's so it sounds like you're just about right.time for tires!
remember, drag racing is ALL in the 60 foot.

Yeah...those M6's are tricky outta the hole. A4's are definately an advantage in that department, however, there's nothing better than someone who likes to grab those gears. Keep practicing...you'll get it.

Update: new times
Took the car to the track for first time since the converter install and custom tune. My best run was 8.20@84.7 mph, 1.9 60ft. I only got my street tires to hook good on two runs, the rest of them sucked. I definitely need tires now.
