Elevation? Weather?

I think you're down on power somewhere, but not far off. Are you on the stock stall?

It's not TOO off, the only power mods you have are a Cold Air intake and an exhaust. You would think with the gears you'd be in the 13's though.

i ran a 14.02 with a 60 ft of 2.2 with my car a couple weeks ago. but i got a problem with my shifting.... i am sure i could of been in the high 13's EASY!!!

All i need are gears, bigger stall, tires, headers and it will be mid 13's if not low.

i say you got some power loss somewhere who did your tune?

Are you spinning coming off the line? With drag radials and 3.73s you should be able to cut a 1.7-1.9 sixty foot. If your not getting the best of traction try lowering your air pressure. With the mods you have, I would think you should be in the 13.6-13.9 range.

Forget about the ET or 60 foot time, there is clearly a problem in the MPH. I'd say you have an ignition problem to track down (at least that's where I would start), but it could be anything, like a sticking brake caliper for example.

hypertech is crap, get a mail order. those computer chip tuner things you can buy for 200-300 dollars usually make a car perform worse. only good for setting gear size so your speedo is right

MPH looks low, arn't stock Lt1 cars able to trap 97-99mph? A 1.9 60' would have got your 13's - how are you leaving the line, flashing, off idle, hard against the converter?

yea somethin is not right, my buick went 14.0 @ 99 on a 2.19 60ft. That was with down pipe and 3.5 pulley only. My z trapped 105(on a 90 degree day too) when stock with cai and catback only. I would scan the car for missfires and/or kr. Get rid of the hypershit and get a mailorder tune, maybe check the plugs and wires. Fuelfilter might need replaced, do all the possible maintnence stuff that has not been done.

he prolly cant bring the car to much off idle. i rember my 383 with a stock stall anything over 2k would even break loose a set of Nittos and at 2200 MTs would break loose like power breaking it so i had to just barely come off idle. you have some good numbers for your reaction time. are you shifting the car manually? or just letting the electronics do it? mine would run about .2-.3 quicker in the 1/8th if i manually shifted it. but agreed call bryan at PCMforless and get him to send you a tune i dont remember his pricing exactly but i wanna say its only like 50 bucks for him to tune it. and 40 for him to overnight it back to you. something like that. but give him a shout he will def. hook you up.

That's the only thing the OP should look into...he's 8-10 MPH off.

ET is irrelevant. That low of a MPH tells you everything. Something is very wrong.

Also, you shouldn't spin at all with Nittos and stock stall. Roast them in the box.

I wouldn't say hes 8-10 mph off, it's an a4 so it should trap 101-103 range.

my car ran a 13.4 @100 with mods in sig. as it says lt's, ory, elec cutout, magnaflow catback, moroso CAI, underdrive pulley, shitty street tires with not alot of tread, stock stall. also car was tuned. my 60 foot was 2.0 with a reaction time of .399. spinning for first 30 feet. my mph is low too, but the et is about right. thats just what i ran to give you something to go by a little. with DR's and stall and gears i could probably run very low 13's or so.

That's pretty bad too. A stock A4 LT1 should trap ~99-100mph assuming the conditions are good.

thats why i said the mph is not there and i dont why either. my car was tuned by then and was not missing and everything is a ok. car has never ran better. my ET is good, but yes as i said i know the mph is not there and i really dont know why. car has no problems, so that is def not it.
