most here will say that you should be able to get that down a bit more with MT drag's.
8.0 is a mid 12s 1/4

mid 12s with no headers is pretty decent for a bolt on car.

That's not a bad 60ft. My 98 is stock converter and suspension but I had to use a 125 shot to get a 1.79 60. Our air is bad here so I could get better times at sea level. How many passes did you try to get those 60's and what was the weather like? I'm sure some better weather/track conditions will get you into the 7's in the 1/8. Maybe the setup just needs a little tweeking, tire pressure, how you leave on the converter, etc....

Yea, it isnt bad for the mods. Toss Yank 4400 and yoyu will see a diff but becareful, still a stock rear in it, and either its a m6 car converted to a A4 or a 6 speed rear tossed into there so you just want to not go too nutty.

You sure can.

So anyways.....

the point is to be easy on it, eventually it will fail so be prepared to fix or upgrade.
