Default New Best @ Carlsbad

Well I haven't had the car to the track since it was almost stock....so it was time to test all the mods.....ran on ET streets...car has no weight reduction and is on stock suspension (except for a Pro-Kit which is not helping traction).....mods are in sig.....2 best runs:

12.46 @ 109.48 - 1.80 60'
12.49 @ 109.19 - 1.83 60'

Well, I have a pulley sitting at home alnog with some fresh plugs and MSD wires, an Andy's ported TB on the way and I realize that I need some 3.73's real bad...these 2.73's are awful!

Congrats to Brandin and Jen, Rich, Rob, and Terry on new bests also! Good to see all of you F-body and vette guys and gals out there!

Big thanks again to Mark @ Andy's for everything! You da man!

Joe

Congrats Joe on your new best! Those times are hauling for those mods, expecially with those 2.73's. Put some 3.73's on there along with your pulley and TB and you'll be beating all the cam/header M6 guys. Thanks again for letting drive your car, it was first time ever driving an A4 F-Body.

Terry,

Not for a bit...I really would like to go 11's Stock Internal full weight (wouldn't that be a feat out here!), so I'll probably do an AAP ported TB, FTRA, pulley, 3.73's ,some custom tuning, long tubes and some skinnies.....we'll see if I can get a nice DA day this fall and pull it off....after that...we'll see....

Titan,
Congrats on those Times man! I have yet to see a car with as little mods as you have runnin mid 12's like that. (especially at Carlsbad) You have a really strong setup. Do the lil things like an asp pulley, TB, and some 3.73's and you'll see low 12's, high 11's easy.

Wow that is great with 2.73's!

I'd do the ported TB and the pulley which should take like an hour to install both and then see what kind of gain you get!
