Default bolt-on a4 makes 12's!!!
I only got one run in today but made me happy that I ended up going. Previously I ran 13.7@102,2.1 60' with lid and ls6 intake. I added Pacesetter LT's and Y pipe w/ magnaflow exhaust and ran 12.9@108.5,2.0 60'.BTW this was on street tires at 20psi. I have major wheelhop I need to solve and they pipe banging is rediculous. I think if I fix both issues I can run anywhere from 12.6-12.7.


Let me know what you think!!!

You don't need a converter and drag radials to get 12s, but you might as well get them because they're the best bang for your buck besides nitrous.

Let me know what you think!!!
I don't think fixing the wheelhop and y-pipe banging is gonna make you any faster. Having wheel hop means that your spinning, if you stop the spinning you may go faster.

the wheel hop isn't horrible it's more the y pipe banging. I'm pretty sure im getting some knock retard out of it. When it hits i can feel the car decrease power between 2-4k and once im in the top of my powerband it goes away and really wakes up.
