Default 60' question.

I'm just wondering how much my et would drop if I could shave 1-2 tenths off my 60' Assuming everything else stays constant. (weather, shifting, weight..)
My best so far is a 2.164 w/ et 13.405

thanks

a good rule of thumb is 2 tenths for every tenth you cut off your 60.

if you got an a4, dropping your 60 is fairly easy....converter and tires, if you have a m6, it is a little harder....12 bolt (for safty) and a good clutch and tires.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. Looks like some tires, a pully and some practice and I could be in the 12's! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
