Ok I would be even happier if it ran this and yes I'am doing Suspension mods also. Lower control arms I have subframe connectors/What else should I do/get.........


Oh ya the only weight reduction I have is the spare tire and jack I took off my front sway bar and brackets. My car with a 1/2 tank of gas with no one in it Its right at 3400 pounds. I'am doing a fiberglass hood so that less weight to.

i was on a 255/50/16 mt et street drag radial mounted on snowflakes with the stock wheel/tire combo on the front. da was hovering between 2000-2500'. 2000 a4 car that had:

whisper lid
ls6 intake
pacesetter headers
3" true duals with x and 4x9 magnaflows dumped at the axle
powerbond 25% udp
kenny brown weld in sfcs
1le lcas off a wrecked 3rd gen (driver's side was actually cracked in 3 places haha)
removed front swaybar and spare tire/jack
373s and girdle
4k stall, transgo shift kit

had a 3600 lb raceweight.

it took a lot of practicing to dip into the 7.6s at that weight and DA. i messed with tire pressure and launching way more than i cared for. when it was all said and done, the car would go 1.65 on unprepped tracks and i swear it would do the same on the street. i don't think i had enough suspension to hold the converter, as it still spun on prepped tracks, but went 1.60...stock susp and too much weight i believe.

that sounds like a sure thing given the da and mods. i forgot to mention that i bent the stock tq arm. i think that also had something to do with the lack of a better 60ft.

I can't wait till I get my SS4000 stall and my 373 gear in my car with the skinny's/wide's/DR's/LCA's and the little weight reduction I did should help also...

Rear seat/seat belts (leather)=37 pounds
Wheels and tires over stock=58-60 pounds
LCA's=6 pounds
T-top holders=2 pounds

103-105 pounds off the car...

I had these off already
Front sway bar and brackets=15 pounds
Spare tire and jack=37 pounds
with these and with stock tires/wheels with a 1/2 tank of gas it weight 3400-3420 without driver..
