Keep working at it. 
1/8th mile times
1/8th mile times I finally got some 1/8th mile times. They are not the best but I suppose everyone has to start somewhere. My best time of the day was 8.54@85.5 mph. 2.06 60 ft. I need E/T streets!

I just installed my TCS 4200 and a B&M Supercooler. 
Things should really start to get interesting now! 
I can't wait to get back to the track, and try this setup out!

I am not trying to rub it in but, I ran a 7.96 @ 90 mph on stock F-1's. I have an advantage though. I have a A4. If you practice your lauching you can definately get down some. Go on a back road and do it over and over until you get the hang of it. It will be different at the track but you should get an idea of what to do. Just my .02.

Yeah...those M6's are tricky outta the hole. A4's are definately an advantage in that department, however, there's nothing better than someone who likes to grab those gears. Keep practicing...you'll get it.

Update: new times Took the car to the track for first time since the converter install and custom tune. My best run was 8.20@84.7 mph, 1.9 60ft. I only got my street tires to hook good on two runs, the rest of them sucked. I definitely need tires now.

Isn't drag racing fun? There's no known cure for it at this time....
Those times are good. As they say, practice makes perfect.....
