I say ditch the Nittos and at least get bfg dr's. they will get you a couple
of tenths on your 60' and maybe .3 in the 1/4. Nittos are a nice looking
tire but they just don't hook like a bfg.

60' 2.146

nitrous jetted at 75 hp shooting from first gear up at 3000rpm and shutting off at 5200rpm manualy.
60' 2.164
1/4 13.218
mph 109.75

60' 2.155
1/4 13.180
mph 109.71

my buddy with a 01 ws6 full weight & 290 lb driver,mods slp flo pac, ported TB, and cut out, on street tires got a best of 13.4 @ 103. and it was his first time at the track.

afterwards we did a N/A street run 1 passanger in his car, and i would beat him.
Whats going on?
By looking at your times it seems to me that you are spinning like crazy out the hole, your mph is there for 12's.

your MPH seems kinda low to me and your 60 is not to hot. I ran a 13.1 with a 2.0 60ft with a trap of 108 with my WS6 and all it has is a catback.

it's simple. You have the highway gears (2.73s) in that A4. That will add about a good .5 secs to your run. I had the same problem. Upgrade to 3.42s and you'll see 12s for sure. Get some sticky tires, a 3500 torque converter, and you'll be low 12s.

My friends A4 LS1 with just exhaust and shocks with street tires hit a best of 12.96 at 111 mph but can run 13.1's all day. He has some great launches.

Hmm. Can't really be much of a drivers problem it's a A4, you can prety much just mash the gas when the light turns green, i ran 13.3 at 104 mph with a 2.0 60ft.time when I was bone stock, I would get some long tube headers and a tune and stall of at least 3200 then you should be in lowwer 12's.

Spray it off the line. Some say not to, and it is harder on the rotating assembly, but I did it quite a bit last season with LT, lid, 4.11 gears, stock converter and tune ran an 11.73 in the 1/4. Then again I took out the tranny too and I didn't care if I blew the motor. We'll see how long it lasts this year with a built tranny and a vig 3600.

Try shutting the Nitrous off at around 5700 rpms that way your higher in the next gear when you shift which depends but should lead you to more acceloration rather than starting low in a gear.

Its the tires! If your spinnin your not winnin. I have the Nittos also. They do suck,(mine were bald when I got them, $75) you have to heat them up for a long time to get them to work. Just try it.

Your nittos are 285\35\18 ??? i would go with a 16 or 15'' DR to start and definatly ttune for your spray it sounds to me like a traction issue

I was able to get my 98 Z 28 to a 12.97@111 with street tires either there is something wrong with your car or with the driving (not that i can talk i cut a 2.1 60' but on street tires) everyone is running 12's on spray that i know how bout your fuel jets i dont know GIT R DONE and get that bitch where it should be good luck
