need an easy tenth

car is a '01 formula A4 w/3,600 vig/ 3.73s/ pulley-lid-smooth bellows-gmafs. Car has all the good susp stuff and tires (1.57 60'). I'm running 12.03- 12.10 and want 11.99. I do take everything out of the trunk and run at 1/4 tank. Thanks

Take the seats out before you go to the track. That should buy you a tenth if you don't mind the work. You can relocate the battery to the trunk to help the 60' too.

Every 100 lbs is about .1 off you 1/4. It's gonna take more than your back seats. lol I would just wait for some cooler air temps, or depending on where you are, take a road trip to a lower altitude track.

yup...yank some worthless weight out too if you haven't already like the spare/jack, all seats except drivers, front sway...I'd bet that coupled with some favorable weather will get you those 11.90s

every little bit helps... remove as much weight that u find fitting... go on a good air day... and drive the hell out of the car... plus a damn good burnout
