Default 8.3-8.4 in the 1/8

So I just picked up a 2000 SS A4 hartop. Previous owner said it runs 8.3-8.4 in the 1/8 but never ran it on a 1/4 strip. I was just curious what kind of real "rough" estimate you guys think it will run in the 1/4. Wish I had the slips but I don't.

Mods on the car are a SLP lid, shift kit, 3400 stall, tubular rear LCAs, panhard bar, loudmouth exhaust and stock 3.23s.

Thanks in advance

Very low 13s like posted above. There should be a mid-low 12 in that car to be honest though, as long as its been tuned. If its not tuned a low 13 sounds about right.

hard to get real accurate without a trap speed and not knowing how hard it runs out the top half. but i'd say low 13s/high 12s. only way to really know is take it to the track.

I knew it would be hard to get a good estimate without a slip but I just wanted a very rough estimate. As soon as I get back from Afghanistan I will definatley be running the car.

Bottom 13s, knock 12s in some nice air.

You guys are awesome. I was thinking low 13s/high 12s but just wanted to get some input from others on here before thinking too fast. Oh, heres a picture of the 4x4

an 8.3x pass will put you in the high 12.8x's, low 12.9x's
