Default What times in the 1/8th

I just got my car 4 days ago and i plan to put it down the track tomorrow. the local track here is the 1/8th mile track which i dont like much but it should work with the A4 and the 4:10 gears that are in the car now. I was wondering what kind of times i should be looking for and what would be good and what would be bad.

Mod list (gonna be short):

1. 4:10 gears
2. Magnaflow Catback

I'll be running street tires but with the stock stall they shouldnt be much of a problem.

also if you could let me know what your car ran pretty much stock i would appreciate that.

Thanks

Most likely mid to high 8's??? Low to mid 7's is decent high 6's you are starting to move and mid 6's and under you got a real fast car.
