Default What will it take for 12's???

I have an 2002 SS A4 with minor mods including:
Pacesetter lt's
3200 stall
ory
!cats
!air
lid/cai
nitto 305 dr's

What should I expect in terms of the 1/4 mile? What will I need to get in the 12's? My car is still untuned and I have never had it dynoed.

Any idea/input on hp or track times would be appreciated, I just am wondering what to expect...Thanks guys.

You should be in the 12's easy. Just make sure to heat the nittos well

That should easily get you mid 12s..

I ran 12.90s everytime I raced....the mods on my 01 Z28 were Pacesetter headers, SLP Lid, and a tune....and with the stock 2.73 gears.

Not really sure, but of course that torque converter will skew the numbers and bit and make it dyno lower.

12's should be easy with your mods! I ran a 12.88 at 105.11 mph 1.8056 60 ft, yesterday on nitto 555r drag radials! Just do a short burnout!

Why are you running 305 Nittos? My 305/18's on ZO6 wheels hurt my 60' too heavy, I put the stock 17 w/ 275 Nittos back on to race. But I have M6.
By the way I dynoed 340hp/350tq w/ mods below. You should be close to that w/ A4. With traction I agree you should run deep into the 12's.

thanks again for your input guys...

I am running the 305 nittos on my street wheels because i value the traction they provide while still being a decent street dr. Also, I havent been able to make it out to the track but when I do, I will be sure to slap on wheels/tires accordingly because you're definately right about them being heavy...
