I had 2.73 with FRA=LID & K&N and cut-out my best was 13.67 on street tires. I have done a gear swap to 3.73 and dropped to a consitant 13.2. I would say you need (gears swap Lid cut-out Nittos or BFG DR) MAYBE hit 12's but to be sure yo will need LT's

I just ran a 13.10@108 with the same car 01 Z28 A4 w/2.73 gears on street tires, my modifications are a HPTuners programming (i only dynoed 275rwhp without the lid) and a SLP Lid, with a 2.0 60' time, ill be in the 12's with DR for sure, or a exhaust, all im going to do next is a ported TB and Nittos, cool weather will do the rest, but the easiest way is the stall converter for sure, you need a baseline run first

See my sig for mods/times. Here are what my car ran at the track last time.
Run 1: 2.09 60ft 8.48 1/8 13.05@107.37
Run 2: 2.12 60ft 8.51 1/8 13.09@107.07
Run 3: 2.04 60ft 8.44 1/8 13.04@106.79
Run 4: 2.08 60ft 8.44 1/8 13.03@106.69
Run 5: 2.00 60ft 8.38 1/8 12.97@106.69
Run 6: 2.02 60ft 8.36 1/8 12.93@107.40
Run 7: 2.00 60ft 8.37 1/8 12.96@106.71

The last 3 runs were made with me simply flooring it out of the hole instead of stalling it against the converter around 1200-1500 rpms.

I have a 01 Z28 A4 with 2.73.
Mods: FRA, descreened maf, A Flowmaster muffler with stock exhaust, SLP lid with fram filter, and Nitto 315-35-17 555r.

1/4 mile:
60' = 2.029 ( Nitto would cause a bog. On this run it spun then bogged the car down)
1/8 = 8.486
MPH= 86.56
1/4 = 12.996
MPH= 108.55

When the car would bog with out the spin I would run 13.00?
