12.56 @ 109 - Stock stall and manifolds on radials. My previous best was a 12.744 @ 108.59. In 59 degree weather and around 400' DA. I borrowed a set of Draglites from IH8FORD, along with cutting some more weight. It ended up being hot as ****, so I didn't run what I wanted but good considering the heat. It was over 70 degrees for most of the day. I made a 12.69 and two 12.62 passes. After doing that I let the car sit for almost 2 hours to cool. And ended up with a 12.5. In cooler weather with less gas, I'd like to get some low 12.40s maybe some high 12.30s.
2001 WS6 A4 w/ lid, ported TB, EWP, ram air, catback, and draglites. The scales weren't hooked up tonight, so I'll estimate the raceweight at 3464 (based on the previous race weight of 3605 +/- the stuff I added and removed).
The skinnies saved about 25 lbs (I'm guessing) per wheel. On the rears, IH8FORD didn't have any tires on his wheels, so I bought some cheap ($169 for 2) sigma tires. They are 295/50/15s on 15x10s. They weight around 5 lbs less per wheel. If anyone is looking for a decent hooking cheap tire the sigma's worked pretty good.
I got some video of the two 12.62 passes, but my camera crew left before I ran the 12.56. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gif2RYctKmM

Every time I come look in the 12 second club threads your running a new PB. 
I'm impressed with how well your car runs for the minimal mods. I wish my car ran those times
, but I only got one run in since the Lt's were installed(time in sig), so I think I have room for improvement.

Out of 8 trips to the track in this car, only one didn't get me a new best. But was at the local 1/8 mile track and it was hot, so I didn't care about that one.
What did you run before the headers?

I ran 13.7 @ 102 2.2 60' with lid/ls6 intake and on nitto street tires. The DA was 2500 and I left the tires at 35psi. When I ran the 12.99@108 I let the pressure down to 20psi and cut a 2.0 60'. I think that alone was worth 3-4 tenths and the DA was only 400. So just those two factors I think probably dropped 4-5 tenths. So I only gained approx. 2 tenths and 2mph with full exhaust.
I'm hoping I can hit a 12.5 with drag radials.
Also how close do you live to your local track considering you go so often? Mines over an hour.

Are you spinning bad enough to drop a couple of tenths in the 60'? Mine would barely spin on my 17s, and actually didn't spin at all on my 12.74 pass.
And I always promote ram air kits. Either store bought or a good homemade setup are good for around 2 tenths and 2 mph.
And ofcourse there is always the stall route, which with a tire would put you down in the 12.0 range.
I live about an hour from the 1/4 mile track and about 30 min from the 1/8 mile track. Though I've heard rumors that the 1/8 mile track is going to be a 1/4 next year which will be awesome because it is the best hooking track there ever was. I guarantee there isn't a better prepped track anywhere, especially on test and tune days.

The car has a mail order tune from steve at lsxtune. I don't spin at all, but get major wheel hop for some reason. Springs and shocks are shot so replacing them w/ some qa1's should help. I do need a ram air kit though, I probably just buy a FTRA since I don't think I have the ability to make a custom one like chrs1313's.
