I want to see how theses guys are getting into the 11's on bolt on stock motors. thanks

Skelton

The bolt ons are definately needed but dont forget weight reduction. My bird is under 3000lbs but looks completely stock. All the fast ones have converters/better clutches, pulleys, airlids,long tubes,free flowing exhuast,suspension upgrades, etc. All the fast ones are super light. When you have limited hp, you need low weight.

Y2Kblackbird how did you get your car under 3000 lbs? Please list the weight reductions.

Skelton

Its vast. My carpet now weighs 10lbs other than 42, k-member and control arms, hals all the way around, no front sway bar, 13lb battery, No cat back exhaust, bogarts/slicks/skinnies took off 90lbs or so, !stock battery holder and overflow,!rear seat but carpeted, !spare/jack, !bumper supports, !heat shields, !ac,!power steering,cf driveshaft, converter is 30lbs less than stock, spool, aluminum yoke,!rear seat belts, and I'm sure I left out more. Next month I'm taking another 120-150 out. Strange brakes, !abs, !power brakes, !air bags,plastic front race buckets,change steering wheel to a light aftermarket one and a true manual steering rack.

Yeah, weight reduction rocks!

Hey, Y2K, gotta a couple real quick questions for ya:

You mentioned your carpet weighs 10 pounds. What carpet are you using?

And also, by overflow, did you mean the radiator overflow reservoir? If so, are there no drawbacks to removing that thing?

Or am I allowed to know your secrets since I have a cam now? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

all a A4 needs is a nice stall, header, and sticky tire <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Oh and some weight reduction

You dont necessarily need a big converter in an A4 car. My race weight was 3400lbs.

Skelton

I picked the carpet up at a local interior shop. I removed the interior and fit it. It doesn't wear well but they gave it to me for free. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The overflow resevior is also the battery tray. I would say it weighs at least 8-9lbs. I use a 12 oz. catch can now. It works fine.

I dont think I have ever seen anyone else on here post a 11sec slip with a 2600yank. Ive seen some hit 11's with a vig2800 though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

but i never said big stall either.. usually a 3200-3600 is a small stall in my opinion <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

but the more weight out of any car, the faster you can go on less HP. Some of us with TA's arent blessed with the factory weight savings <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> HAHAHAH
