Default 1/4 Mile Times in the 12's

I recently posted the Vid of my car so you all could see, now here are the numbers. This is running with STOCK FACTORY Stall, Stock Transmission, and on BF Goodrich 275/40ZR17 street tires. I made 13 runs, only 2 were in the 13's. The car only has Boltons and the Hot Cam Kit. Still has stock Heads, Throttle Body, Intake, and Block.

First run:
R/T- .505
60ft- 2.047
330- 5.596
1/8- 8.462@85.70mph
1000- 10.945
1/4- 13.038@107.78mph

FASTEST RUN:
R/T- .371
60ft- 1.939
330- 5.434
1/8- 8.266@86.82mph
1000- 10.717
1/4- 12.782@109.19mph

It suprised the hell out of alot of people. There was a Corvette Z06, he was built a little with a Cam in it, and my LT1 beat him around for a little bit. He finally got me on one run, he had a good launch. Can't do much with factory stuff in an A4. It's definately hanging with LS1's, there is no question about that. If anything, they are hanging with me..

Next is an Aluminum Driveshaft, and a B&M Shift Kit. Car came light from the factory, The only thing I did was take out the backseats, spare tire, and a couple of other things.

don't go with B&M, transgo is what your looking for.

i was supposed to get the car on the track tomorrow but my rear end is on stands geting rebuilt.

get a tune and get ur shifiting at 6500 rpm, I remember reading a post by ED wright about that some months ago.

good luck.

eyad.

I am shifting at 6100, the Cam stops building power at 6000-6100. I have 3.73's in the back.

If the car hooks like it should and you put a good converter in it (like a 3600 Vig), 320 rwhp will get you into the elevens in good air.

Thanks guys. I am just doing what I can with what I got...
I already bought the Drive Shaft, that will be going in as soon as I get it. It came out of a '02 WS6.

I dont understand how the car is that light.My 95 TA comes in at 3650 minus spare tire and jack.I have ran 13.75 @ 101 pretty much stock,no cat,cai,tb bypass,stock exhaust,stock gears with a 6 speed.Just how in tha hell could I cut the fat out to get it down to 3250?400 lbs is a lot of weight,should cut close to .4 off et.Where did you weigh the car at?Seems you only gained around 45 horsepower over stock that should not up to more than a second off you stock et.I wish my car was that light.Also where was it dynoed at?That seems like a low HP figure for that et.Maybe you are pushing out more power than you think.LT1's have more than 300ftlbs of torque stock.

My bad,you said 320 rwhp.Iwas saying a stock lt puts out 285 at the crank.So I see you have around 75 more horsies.That makes a little more since to me,but damn that car is light!!!!!!!!

curious too, his sig says stripper, I'm still 3570 with the 12 bolt, BMR Kmem, BMR upper/lower A's, yada yada list goes on, AC is out for now, may stay out. Not sure if I want to strip it per say but Kirkey seats are going in and the rears coming out tonight.

Great times & passes on your LT1 dude, very respectful for the mods!
