whats your suspension setup like.

might not be able to get the sixty foot needed for those times if all your suspension is still stock..that 10 bolt might say by by too, always hard to say with a light A4 car though.

sound like the HP and converter are there, just curious about what you got for putting it to the pavement.

All of my son's 10 sec runs have 60 ft. times deep in the 1.5 sec range with most of them in the 1.43 to 1.47 sec range. Except for more gearing, looks like you have the mods to run 10's for sure

no one here can tell you what your car will run. only way to know is take it to the track and find out for yourself.

A shock/spring setup might be something to consider. (front sway bar removed). Is the car tuned properly? I wouldnt worry about the rear until it breaks, i know someone that is still running a 10-bolt w/3.23 gears on their H/C car. Do you have any weight pulled from the car? Why are you selling the lightweight battery?
