How's these times for improvement? last PB was 13.82 @ 101.50mph i put a cutout on the car and did all the free mods, and ported the TB slightly nothing drastic.
2.143 - 60'
8.881 - 1/8
82.38 - 1/8mph
13.675 - 1/4
102.04 - 1/4mph
The 60' were almost the same from last time an this time maybe a .04-.05 difference. I didn't think that was a bad time for an A4 with 3.23's an these heavy *** chrome 17x9 salad shooters

Your 8th mile looks good but I would think your 1/4 would be a little lower... maybe 13.4 or 13.3
Does the car feel like it's slowing down at the end of the track? Seems to be shifting fine?
Also make sure you have at least 32psi in the front tires… you might want to try a little more and see if that helps. Low psi will drag your car down

dissonance- Front tires were about 2psi from max 42psi i think max is 44 on the tires. Rear tires were at 28psi i believe, that's how i run my GP max psi in the back tires and around 26-28psi in the front (backwards for FWD). Car still feels strong at the end of the track and it shifts fine .
Villain281H- That time was around 10:30pm it was pretty cool out around 65-70* not during the heat of the day, I run at national trail raceway.
There was another auto TA there that was running 13.5's at the same mph on a 2.0 60' so i kinda figured my time wasn't to bad.

man i dunno, i think i just got lucky with my car but on my 4th ever pass with lid and cutout and no free mods i ran 12.88.. was about 60 degrees outside... 3.23 geared auto with stock everything else... trap was like 107.5 i think.. oh i had nitto 245's on the stock 16's but they didn't seem to pick me up much as i wans't really spinning..
i think the best thing u can do is take the weight out and get a ls6 intake ect.. my car was non option'd.... weighed 3300 dry from the factory, so im sure that made a good bit of difference.

Villain281H- I believe your right, but that'll have to wait till oct. for those times
. I think there's more in it by just switching to a lighter smaller 16" 5 star rim or something also.

Nice times man. I never thought that I could get good times with an A4 but one day me and a friend of mine went to the track and I was doing great with like 13.5 and 13.2 around 105mph with only a cut-out and a flowmaster, the only mods I had at the time. And then my friend asks me if he could try so I was like go ahead (not thinking he could do any better). And that jerk got a 13 flat at 107 mph!! I was like No Way! But I guess he smoked the tires good and got a great launch. But now I know that it can be done for a stock A4 to do a 13 flat. So the stock tranny these cars come with shift right at the sweet spot with relitivly no help from a programer.

Ask and you shall recieve
The rims actually get alot of compliments, i wasn't to crazy about them at first but they do look mighty good shined up. They might even be 17x9.5 i've read 17x9 and 17x9.5 so i dunno.

Damn that's weird. It does look like the car stops pulling. My best 1/8th mile time was a crap 8.9 @ 82.5 and my car felt like it was pulling hard as a bitch, but I had to get out of it.
Then again I have an M6.
I ran in 80* heat with 70% humidity on my heavy *** wheels. I'm stock too, so I need to try it again when I have my exhaust and it's cooler out.
The reason people got confused on the "salad shooter" comment is because the LT1 bodystyle Camaro's came with 16x8's that were dubbed salad shooters. Those are rare WS6 wheels you have there.
