Yeah, You should be in the 12's with some DR's for sure. That 60 ft could easily come down to a 1.8x with stock suspension and some dr's.

I'm wondering how the hell you got a 13.0 w/ a stock a4, where do your rpms sit at 65mph?

Some stock ls1s have hit high twelves stock. I don't see any problems with it running a 13.0. Those few mods you have prolly cut .2-.3 off your ets, so it's easily believable.

That's a pretty good trap speed. You are a set off drag radials away from being in the 12's.

That kind of time is generally in those "rare" cases reserved to m6 w/ great drivers

Not saying I don't believe you just jealous as hell, my a4 w/ 3.23's ran 13.4 stock w/ 2.01 60's and another regular at the track w/ 2.73's ran 13.6's at infineon about as close to the sea as it gets. And a vid would be nice to for the hell of it.

For you breaking into the 12's relocation brackets and lca's will get you to your goal.

Yeah, I know your right. But it is still possible. Idk what my car runs, but I know from 40 to 85-90 I pulled 2-2 1/2 cars on a 13.5 car from my a4 dead spot. All I have is an ftp lid, slp maf, p&p tb and a chokemaster. So I would prolly run a really low 13 I would guess.

So, a lid and catback? Pretty good times considering that's pretty close to stock!

Wonder what she'll do with a stall and some DR's?

Nice run. Drag radials and you're consistent 12s no problem.

He probably had some good DA. I ran a 13.5 @ 105 in 100 degree weather with just a lid and FTRA. I weigh a lot and that was full weight with some additional bs in in my car.

The Diablo tune he has on his car probably helped with shifting and helped him run the time he did plus the other MISC mods....

OP, next time take your air filter out and see what it does for you. I gained a mph by doing this....it could be enough to get in the 12s. Congrats on running good times with minimal mods.

Makes me feel like m car is a dog lol
