That's fanastic, I would go back with 1/8-1/4 tank of gas. You should have no problems hitting 11s.

yeah when i picked up my timeslip at the booth, the lady was going nuts...she was like "you are 8 hundreths away from getting kicked out, if you run under 12 sec. you need a firejacket, 6pt roll bar, driveshaft loop, and a 5 pt harness" so that kind of scared me. that night i made 3 passes. the first run was 12.081 @ 111.57 the next one was 12.121, and the 3rd was 12.314...all back to back no cool down time. I was so surprised i was in awe. if i had one piece of advice for all the A4 guys out there...GET A CONVERTER BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE...MAKE IT YOUR FIRST MOD. I was skeptical because i had never riden in a car with a high stall but after i got it i couldnt imagine driving a car without one!

swap out your gears, you will run low 11s for sure.

Default Hi stall converters

How are you guys running 3000-3500 RPM converters with such high rear gear ratios and not heating up your trans on the streets?

my race weight was 3708...if i wouldve just taken out my big subwoofer box or my amp or my spare tire or had a little bit less gas (i had 5/8 tank)...but then of course they would have not liked me running 11's with only a helmet, safteywise. lol
