They go a 13.7 stock. With those high gears and a tune he's low 13s easy.

I would have your tuning double checked I think your car should be a little quicker. Your trapping 102,I'm not an expert but with your mods I would think your traps would be higher. With no launch involved you should have been right next to or in front of a low 13 car. Iirc Alabama guy was 13.1x with the same mods and a higher trap around 106. That's around 20-30 more hp with the same mods. Like I said I'm no expert but I would look into it.

Remember when I ran 13.5 it was humid and hot as hell plus alabama guy car is a Monte which is a couple hundred pounds lighter. I'm actually running faster with my current tuner. Valvetrain upgrade is my next mod.

Good runs. 50 mph rolls is a complete dead spot with these cars.

To think everyone talks about how much faster we are than mustangs when we can't even beat the v6's lol. Just imagine what racing a 5.0 with those mods would be like...

Lol, Totally agree with you . The 35 roll felt pretty good vs the 50 roll.

Even with the 3.29's you would have been pretty low in the rpm range in 2nd starting out I would assume. Out of curiousity is the stang manual or auto?

13.7 is like the best they have run stock, they are more so low 14 cars stock. They're impressive but the reason of the initial outcome is just due to his 3.73s gears in a A6 vs. the Impala's A4

Looks like the rockers made a good difference for you.

In the first video it looked like he got a jump. He still pulled, but the jump was a big part of his lead.

I ran up on the first LS4 I had ever seen today. We ran from a dig, he jumped, and I ran him down like he was tied to a building once I caught traction. Car looked good and I got a thumbs up afterwards.

Yeah , I've been thinking of getting some . Will the 3.69s hurt or help my 1/4 mile times ?

I picked 3 mph in the 1/8 mile with 3.69 gears. They will help you! You would only go slower if you over rev, when crossing the line.
