Default Should I go 12s?

Hey guys, last year my car went a best of 13.15 @ 107.9 with a horrible 60ft of 2.2. I had problems with the stock cluch and some tire spin!! Well this year I just got A spec stage 3 clutch with Billit steel flywheel, and updated hyd. I want the car to run 12s before I put my headers, and other susp. mods in, Can I accomplish this? I know it has to do with my 60ft times. What is a good 60 ft with a few bolt ons and nittos?

Dan

I would think with practice you should be able to get into the 1.77-1.85 range then you should be in the 12's easy ....I have a A4 and can cut a 1.67 60ft right now and have been a best of 1.56 on 17" nitto's you may want to take it easy with that stock 10 bolt on a 6 speed they tend to break faster then with a automatic... and good luck

Im an auto so all I can tell you is that with just boltons (no cam) and 273 gears with a 2800 stall I ran 12.40s at 110mph with a 1.78 to 1.85 shorttime.

You are gonna need some stickey tires to get the 60 ft time lower, You could also try some good LCA's and relocation brackets , they are known to help.

the M6 is going to take practice to learn where you can launch the car for the best ET, Practice Practice Practice.

You should easily see 12's with a 1.9 60' Dan. Or you could just let me drive. JK
