Default Very Disappointed.
Last year I did 13.1 2.060ft @107.4mph it's an A4 on street tires.Since then I PP my TB added LT headers,Y-pipe,descreened my MAF and put on M/T drag radials and deleted my TQ managment.I went last night and got the same exact times on four runs 2.0 60ft,13.10@107.49 I was expecting much better with new mods.The only thing I'm thinking is I never had it tuned yet could this be the problem.

The summer heat isjsut killer for ET and MPH...I'm sure you gained quite abit. Your not going to do much better than a 1.9-2.0 on stock stall, but if i were you i would jsut go ahead and get a yank 32-3600 stall and go run some god times

If you wanna launch really hard look into an SS4000 with a 2.6 STR

I'm not a STR guru, but any 3600+ stall converter is going to hit had regardless of str

I think you should go for the Yank PT 4000 and a good solid tune and watch your ET's plummet to the 11's!

Winner here. When were your previous best times recorded? I'm guessing good air, and summer air (usually a good 2-5 tenths slower than killer fall/winter air) won't help much.

I also agree that a tune (if the car still has the stock tune in it) would be beneficial.
