Why am I running slow?
I have an 02 a4 TA with 2.73 gears, headers, exhaust, K&N CAI, and a shift kit. I've been running at sac raveway lately and so far my fastest is 13.64@103 60ft@2.23 that was finally on a cooler night and track was prepped better. I've heard some stock a4s running low 13s some high 12s. Is it because I'm on small street tires?

Density is only 30ft so shouldn't be bad? I really don't know what's up she runs healthy has 113k miles if that makes a big difference. Maintained well and everything. Guess it's just the tires.

Here stock autos run 13.5 @ 106ish. Something seems a little off, terrible 60ft, low trap speed. It doesn't seem like your car is running right, unless youre boiling the tires off the line....so are you spinning when you take off at the track or is the car hooking good?

The density was at best of 936ft and at worst of 1989ft that night not 30ft, was running at the same track same night. Like other people said your 60 ft is horrible so that's probably your main problem. When was the last time you did routine maintenance like new wires , plug, fuel filter? That **** helps a lot as well.

stock transmission?
back in the day my car went 12.76@108 with a lid, 02 manifolds, ORY, tune and 3.73 gears. I'm a porky fella, dunno the actual weight on the car but I'de say it was close to 3700lbs.

Yeah I have a stock transmission with a shift kit. I don't even weigh that much my car is probably about 3500lbs I would guess. I only run with like a quarter tank too.

This right here, totally skipped over the headers part. Get the car tuned!!!!! Don't be cheap, it makes a world of difference
