Default mph and et question

i have a 01 t/a a4, 3500 tci convertor, 3.23 gears, magnaflow catback, slp lid, k&n filter, torque arm relocation brackets and 315 nitto drag radials. my best numbers so far are 12.76 @105.19 with a 1.80 60' and was wondering for the mods i have do the numbers seem correct or does the mph low? some suggestions are the it is convertor and changing to a yank would help my performance. any suggestions?

I don't think the converter will make a differance but it may be to big for the gears you have. I think those numbers are pretty good for what you have done to the car. Put some headers on there and get a good tune and you should see a big change. Maybe even do LCA's with a aftermarket torque arm.

I run a Yank 4200 with the stock 3.23 gears and went a 1.73 easing into the throttle with the DR's but I need some ET streets to take full advantage of that 4200 stall! good job OP and yea a little low but that could be a tune issue?

I think you could work on your 60' alittle better with those tires and your stall....
