Well to be perfectly honest it makes me believe you're not making 360 rwhp. Case in point, my buddy's 02 WS6 trapped 108 with 325 rwhp. Full weight, full bolt ons, and automatic too. Was in similar conditions as well. This is why I never go by dyno numbers.

I think its far from a complete loss because I gained .5 second and a much better sounding car. Gears are 3.23 with some sort of Detroit locker(according to previous owner). No suspension mods but thinking about SFC just to help stiffen up the car. With a good stall and DR's, I expect to be close to mid 12's.

That makes sense about me not feeling like it pulls more. I didn't think about these mods being gear toward top end.

I appreciate your input.

Gotcha. What was the air temp and DA where your buddy ran 108 with 325rwhp?

Should I have expected to knock off more than .5 seconds with these upgrades? BTW, I appreciate your honesty.

If I remember right the DA was around 2000 that day, and temps in the high 60's.

The ET has a lot more to do with the launch, but from stock to full bolt ons with all else equal .5 seconds seems about right.

Yeah I'm not trying to discourage you or anything, but more just trying to steer you down the right path, because that's what we are here for. I honestly wouldn't sweat it. Your car runs just fine for what it is, so I'd just go and enjoy it.

I'm definitely having fun with it. I have found it pretty satisfying to do a few mods and test it at the dragstrip for gains. I'm also not sure that my DA is correct when I said 2400. I googled it for the strip that I ran and got the 2400 answer, but I have since learned that DA is contingent to temp.

my car with a slp lid no tune ran a 13.5 and it’s a convertible automatic. With a constant 2.070 60 foot

That's pretty good for a convert. Nice job.

nickpags90

i saw your car is an automatic with the power you’re at have you had any problems with your rear end?

I added a T/A girdle to help protect it. I sold the car almost 2 years ago. Car was too nice to leave sitting out. Sold it to an guy in his 60's. I do miss the car.

My 2000 Z28 A4 with Hooker 1 3/4 LTs, Hooker O/R Y, E Cutout, Hooker Aerochamber, LS6 intake, Ported TB, Slp Lid and FTRA made 328hp Cutout Closed, 332hp Cutout open. I can't remember the torque numbers off hand and that was untuned so your numbers seem good.

The best time I ran bolt ons was 12.84@107.7 I believe. My 60ft was better than yours as well as DA though. Back then I had a race weight of 35XX lbs.

Edit: Found my times

My best run was:

DA: -294
60ft: 1.964
1/8th ET: 8.29
1/8th MPH: 87.07
1/4 ET: 12.849
1/4 MPH: 107.77

When I ran in July with similar DA to you I show that I ran a 13.03 @ 107

Not bash but I think those numbers are pretty high for a bolt on A4 car even if the TCC was locked.

I think the MPH shows that too.

Agreed. Absolutely no negativity intended but 360whp on an auto with those mods seems like a friendly dyno, and the trap speed isn't backing up the number. What brand of dyno?
