98 C5 A4 ET? Hey guys I just sold my Stock Syclone that ran 12.5's w/ Air filter, Chip and exhaust.
Now I think I want a 98 C5 A4 but would like to run 12's at 2,200 feet (LVMS)
Is too much to ask for from a stock C5 A4?
If so what will it take to get into the 12's?
BTW I have only have 2 friends with C5's so this is what I am basing my numbers off
99 FRC M6 intake, corsa and long tubes 13.1@109
98 Coupe M6 DRMS old heads and Cam Pakage 13.1@110
Both on street tires
TIA
Kris

Re: 98 C5 A4 ET? My Vette ran 13.0 stock at sea level on a cool day. A air intake, headers, hypertech, and drag radials may get you into the high 12's. If not, then a converter definitely will.

Re: 98 C5 A4 ET? I ran *a* 12.98 in NH at near sea level in good air with intake and exhaust, 13 flat and a bit over was the norm. I think 12s are optimistic at you altitude w/o a well chosen mod or two. You might start w/ tire and see where that gets you first.
