Where am I losing time I took my stock 00 A4 Z28 to the track last weekend and was pretty disapointed, my best of the night was a 13.9 @ 106. Of course my best time the guy lost my ticket but heres my second best.
I1 2.409
I2 6.246
I3 9.299
MPH (I3) 81.352
I4 11.801
ET 14.025 @ 104.535
This was in Phoenix @ sealevel on a cool night. Im thinking my 60' time suck ***. But I couldnt get traction with even a minor power brake. I ordered some LT and Lid hopefully this will help a little. Im guessing 106 mph would be good for low 13's. Im also running 285/35 18 on the rears. Any advice appreciated.

I've gone 12's with 106 mph, in a 400 sbc in a 65 nova back when it was a small tire car, car 60ft'd pretty good 1.6 for the power and 26x10 I was running.
The main problem with your car is the 60ft, with 106 mph run you should be able to get well into the lower side of the 13's easy with just a tire change I would imagine, possibly some wheels you use just for racing on, some 16's or a set of 15's for the rear when you race, the drag radial would work pretty good.
Trying to hook on a 18" rim isn't easy at all and pretty much worthless for the effort, I had 18's on my car back in 1998 and I would spray a 150 shot on it and it would blow the tires off easy at freeway speeds.
1st thing I would do is get a little higher stall converter and a set of sticky tires, it should really wake that car up out of the hole.
