Default n/a A3 guys...

anyone in here runing a n/a setup with an A3 (th400/th350)? What's the raceweight of the car, and what did it make for power, and what are ou running for a converter/gear/tire combo? Curious to hear some combo's and how they are running, to try to get an idea what to expect.

Thanks.

The car weights around 3250 with me in it. It only makes 395rwhp/356rwtq. All other mods in sig. It ran 10.90s in May. Will try the cool air next week.
Good luck!

Thanks, this is good news to hear. My car's heavy, probably about 3650 with me in it I'd guess.... I'm running a hughes converter that stalls up to about 5200 on the transbrake, flashes to about 6200 on the dyno, 4.10 gears, 27 inch hoosier qtp, and it made south of 450 rwhp/tq, and makes good power up to about 7400. I ever get the car under 3400 with me in it I knwo it's really gonna fly... it's something I plan to work on over the winter.
