Cammed A4
Cammed A4 Just picked up an 99z today shes an a4, I plan on hitting the track one i get a better tire set up and installing the trans cooler but i was curious what you gurus think she can do.
Mods are:
Ms3 Cam
Tci 3000 stall
hooker long tubes, catless y, slp.
ram air
Minor suspension work
4.10s
And a solid tune
Almost forgot ls1 intake and stock tb, plan on a ls6 intake and ppd tb asap
Most a4 guys i see breaking 11's normally have a 3600-4000 stall, so i was curious with a decent tire and assuming i hook does anyone foresee an 11sec quarter in my future?
Thanks in advance!

Wrong section but...I would say ur good for low 12's with a decent tire. That being said, You will probably break your 10 bolt with a Mickey Thompson considering the size gear you have. If you're gonna stick with that gear you should use a tire that won't hook quite as strong as a M/T like a Nitto.

Yall guys only think low 12s? My bolton lt1 with 270 rwhp went 12.3 with 3400+ raceweight. With 370 whel thru auto im gona say mid 11s if it hooks. Also to the op dont be afraid of the 10 bolt. Autos are not as hard on the rears. Put some mt drs on that best and let her eat.
Don't buy nittos... Just tried out their NT-05R which is supposed to be a better DR than the 555r and best 60' was only a 1.69... I could do that with my street tires.
Only way to find out is to take the thing to the track. Let us know how ya do

Lose that POS TCI stall before if ruins your trans. TCI converters are literally GM 4cyl converters with adapter rings welded on them. Not to mention 3,000 stall (if its even that, I know they just "guess" by hoping the crappy Sunfire converter will overstall to a certain point with increased power, aka anything more than a Sunfire) is too low for your combo.
MS3 with 4.10s is begging for at least a 3,600. I would go 3,800-4,000 in your combo and of course get a good cooler.
For my combo, Circle D Specialties............moves me. Rule of thumb for converter shopping is that if it doesnt cost at least $675 its not worth your time.

It depends on how hard you get the car to leave, weight of the car and air, 370whp unlocked is good for mid-low 11s good air. I went the time in the sig with the same cam, made 380whp unlocked and car weighed with me 3525lbs. that was with a 275/40/17 mickey drag radial btw

... Did I say something wrong???
First off, It's known that the higher ratio gear you go the weaker it is... In other words as far as strength is concerned, 3.42>3.73>4.10. Have had my rear end and a few friend's rear ends break with a 4.10 because the M/T grip so well and put that much strain on the rear end.
Second, I did pull a 1.70 60' on my street tires last year at Byron Dragway... it's not a 1.69, but it's 1/100th of a second difference...
**Fixed my first post... a nitto won't break a 10 bolt, M/T probably will considering the M/T hooks like a slick and the Nitto (at least from personal experience) doesn't have enough grip to do any harm.
