I would assume it's an A4 based on the 3.23 gears. If you are on (edit, he said ET's 
) stock tune and summer weather that may not be all that bad.

I went 12.70 with the following:
Hooker Long Tubes
Dual Cutouts (open)
MTI Clear Lid
Spohn LCAs w/Relocation Brackets
Spohn Panhard Bar
Hoosier Quick Time Pros at 20 PSI on 16x8 salad shooters.
Launched at about 5k, clutch slipped and I had a really bad 2-3 shift. This was in 90+ degree weather and very humid.
Your times probably have a lot to do with the fact it's an auto. Slap a Torque Converter and shift kit on there and you should drop .5 off that time easy.

You might want to invest in some suspension mods. i have the same problem as you as I can see by your 60ft of 2.056. I have similar mods and the best 60ft I ever cut was a 1.96 once or twice.

I just realized you stated the ET streets. You are bogging bad off the line I am sure. ET streets are too much tire for your car. Near stock power levels on a stock converter with 2.73's means you WANT a little bit of tire spin to get the revs up and keep from bogging off the line. Get a 3500+ converter and that will all change.

with an auto the best mod you can do for your ET is a stall. period. stall it and make sure u can hook(which you've already taken care of). then you should see the times u are looking for(or better).

Agreed on the stall.. I was the guy who was there with Jacob when he bought the car.. Nice ride If et streets are the only good hooking tire you got, you can use them, but I suggest putting them at full pressure.. 20lbs+

I also second ET streets being to much tire for your car. What size were they? With a stall I ran 12.06 with a 1.58 60 ft on Nittos, I went to a 26X10.50 ET street and ran 12.2 with a 1.7x 60ft. I am thinking that the 3:23's with a stock internal just are not strong enough to pull it outta the hole. I just put in 3:73's and will try the ET streets angain, but I stayed with Nitto D/R on my 3:23 rear, even with a 4200 stall TC. Get a 4000+ stall TC and you'll see mid 12's easy :-)
