Default i wanna get high sevens in 1/8th

2000 a4 T/A, lid, catback, nitto drag radials, bmr torque arm, bmr LCA's,
Is this enough to run high sevens with like a 1.8 60 ft. what would I possibly run with this combo and the addition of a yank ss3600 stall? Thanks.

when my car had nothing but a lid, catbac, lca, vig 3200 stall and 373 gears i was hitting 8.2 with a 1.81 60 ft. so i dont know there is a lot more to think about other than your mods such as DA, track and some other stuff. but i wish you the best of luck.

I have a 02 z-28 with long tubes an airlid and a yank ss3800 stall, on bfg drag radials i ran 8.2 e.t 1.89 60' 83.71 mph. This is with the car banging the rev limiter trying to make the 2-3 ****. Hopefully it is a tuning issue not the clutches. I am going to take and have it dyno tuned, it has already had the header and tM codes deleted. The car also has the stock cat back to make it quite.

7's shouldn't be a problem if you can get traction. Doing a 1.80 60' will put you in the ballpark for sure. Launch is key too, along with some sticky DR's.

if you want high 7s in the 1/8, you only need a few things.

longtubes
3k+ stall
sticky tires
tune

you could probably do it without the longtubes, but you'd need a strong launch. my car with 373 gears, shift kit, 4k stall, and a lid - on the STOCK TUNE went 8.18 @ 80 mph. i lost 3 mph due to tqm and the shift points being screwed up (car went 8.73 @ 83 the week before the stall and shiftkit). after the mods, it ultimately went high 7.6x @ 88 mph.
