Default Bolt on LT1 almost in 12's!

Heres my slip with just bolt on's all motor...Im on the right.


Heres the same car with a Zex 75 wet shot 3000rpm-5800rpms tranny shifts at 6k....Im on the left


I took some advice from some people i knew and tried to brake the car at the light and bring the rpm's up to around 1100 or so and i couldnt get it to 60ft for ****? Before i let the car just idle and i gunned it and it hit 2.0 60ft's everytime.

I have 8way KYB adjustable shocks on all four corners how should i set them up in order to get the best 60ft times? Right now they are all at number 5 i also have energy suspension bushings on my front and rear sway bar's and sway bar link's.

I really want to hit a high 12 is that possible given my trap speed what should i do to get that time if its even possible?

Good times man. My 99 Auto ran 12.6s with 3500 stall, cat back, lid, Granatelli MAF and DRs. You should be able to get in there no problem.

If i can get the same 60ft as i did on motor i should be good for a high 12...I think i will try to let the engine idle then give it gas just like before.

Thing that sucks is that Famoso is really packed! I need a drag strip that has more runs avaliable to the car's!

I just dug out a slip of mine where I raced my old room mate's 97' Z28. (Fully optioned A4 car with 3.23's)

His mods then: K&N CAI, BBK UD pulley, Pacesetter LT's & ORY, cut out, 2800 stall, MadZ28 tune, nitto drags, LT4 KM.

Here is his best bolt on pass with that car:

60' ... 1.922
330 ... 5.443
1/8 ... 8.369
MPH ... 83.37
1000 ... 10.926
1/4 ... 13.094
MPH ... 104.02

A good stall converter and some drag radials would put you damn near in the 12's N/A IMO.

I have a 94 A4 with 3:73's stock tune 7 in wide street tires, I have rebuilt the engine my self with all stock parts accept the cam which is a LT4 hot cam with stock 1.5 rockers. The Trans is built for 700-800 hp. I am running a custom set of Stainless long tubes with everything else not listed stock. Here are my times from Last wednesday. My time are on the right.
