Will 3500 TC get me an 11?
In my opinion a TC is one of the best mods for an A4 car. If you are willing to do some harmless “track only” weight reduction then you will run an 11 with the 3500 stall.
Spare tire and jack -~35
Back seats -~25
Rear seat divider -~7
After market torque converter -~10
Run with a ¼ tank of fuel -~32 from ½ tank
Miscellaneous crap in the car - ~10
Total = 87lbs weight reduction without trying!
These items are easily removed and will make a difference in your 60’ and ET.

I dropped 81 lbs recently with all of the following:
-! Rear Seats, Seatbelts and Brackets
-! Sway Bar
-! Spare Tire and Jack
-! Rear Floor Mats
And I have been known to take out the Pass. seat for the track. Can't leave it out because of the fiance.

I feel there was more in it, especially mph wise, if I could get more air in the tires and still hook. I will be back again on friday.
