what should it run 2002 35th le vert a4, kooks 1/3/4 Lts, kooks catted y pipe, high flow race cats, magnaflow catback, 8.5msd wires, ngk plugs, 12 bolt moser 3.73 gears. yank ss 4000 stall, with cooler, slp air lid with smooth bellow. best run before the converter was a 13.03 @107 on mt drag radials. 325rwhp and 321rwtq. what should it run? thanks.
Before the converter did you still have all the other mods?
Being that it's a vert and heavier you'll be a little behind a normal F-body. I'd say it should run mid 12's @ 110-111ish

12.4 @ 109 give or take a tenth and give or take a mph. The 12 bolt and extra pounds from the vert are your biggest hinderances going down the track. But I gotta compliment you on your choice of mods. Every mod you have done is a solid choice by a solid company. 12 bolt might be over kill at this point but you can keep modding and grow into it, LOL

You will likely drop .6 with that converter. It's a good size stall and a great brand in Yank. Very good choice. You will also likely add +2 or +3 in trap speed. So I'll guess you will run:

Yes its tuned. I haven't ran it yet with the converter. Is it really that low considering its a vert?
Get to the track and see what the stall does!

In an automatic, not so much. Remember that with the automatic you can pre-load the drivetrain before a launch. This is HUGE for the preservation of a 10 bolt rearend. I know guys running 10's on the stock 10 bolt with no issues at all. I have at least 1000+ passes in the 11's with 1.5-1.7 60's and my stock 10 bolt is still running strong.
Until you are well into the 10's, 450+ rwhp and 1.4 or lower 60' times I wouldn't worry about the 10 bolt in an automatic.
BUT
Always preload the drivetrain before you launch and get off the gas immediately if you ever experience any wheel hop.

I mean, I would expect it to do at least 109mph with those mods. Considering it's an auto and a vert it's not going to trap as high as a hardtop or t-top car but still seems a bit low to me. I was doing 108mph in my lid/catback WS6 full weight, which isn't light.

Verts aren't as heavy/slow as most think. My (see sig) bolt-on only full weight vert went 12.3 w/3.42 gears and a 2800 stall.
Car in sig goes 11.72 @ 116 cam only, 3.42, SS3600 on motor (again full weight).
Also, as stated above DA can move time several 1/10ths either way.
Hope this helps as some reference points.
