track prep and weather conditions, i pulled 1.86 60ft on street tires, i also have an A4, i am guess you have a M6, get the drag radials or just some slicks for track only, you will see major improvements

on cooler days i was running trap speeds of 113 to 114. still have crappy 3.23 gears. changed over to an m6. for the fun factor. that and went though 3 automatic tranys. i also found out i had busted a motor mount. before that last run last year. it has been replace with urathan mounts. my friend said that could be the reason for the drop in mph because the motor was moving around on me. i found out when i changed it that the rubber fell right out of the clamp and it was twisted and cracked up.
