Congrats, those are some solid numbers, that will be a strong car with some bolt-ons, I'am sure.

What that's a great time for stock. What was the weather like?? Did you take jake/spare out or air out of the tires??

Also the Predator did wonders for my '04 A4. I dropped a few tenths and gained a few mph at track with my custom tune.

Both will help but I can only speak for the Predator tune. It really woke my A4 up. She shifts alot harder and quicker. Plus it turns the "torque management" modes off so that probably unleashed hidden hp/tq.

Also you can take the program out and go back to stock settings anytime ya feel like it.

Not bad for an ls1 goat. On street tires I run a 13.0, 2.0 60 ft, TS 109 spinning through 1st and partially 2nd with bolt ons. I have a 2006 A4 Torrid Red GTO.

Very good first numbers. I've seen lots of guys 04 - 06 have 14.xs the first time out.

Yes launch from 3rd with the TC off. Put 40lbs in the front tires and lower your rear pressure. Each car/wheel/tire combo is different. I tired as low as 16lbs and as high as 30. One type of tire did best around 21lbs and the new ones do best around 26 lbs.

actually man don't launch in 3rd launch in first about 1000rpms and run that hoe threw the gears....I didn't do **** to my car at all...I ran 13.6 at 103.4...you gotta nail the shifts though....from first second at about 40 mph and second to third anywhere 70 to 80 just watch banging the limiter...if you nail the shift from first to second that car really sails...
and buy a bag of ice and ice that intake!!!! cold air makes more power!

You can't outshift the computer. Your actually hurting your time. Many have tried and been proven wrong.
