new best short time & et.
No reason to go with more gear, whoever is telling you that you would need 3.73's is just wasting your money. With a turbo setup you have tractor-like torque right now. Why add another 5% in torque multiplication you can't hook as it is. When does your power peak and where do you make peak tq?
I'd come out lower until it bogs.
To hook a 4000 launch with a 4500 peak tq you would need 28" slicks or bigger looks like.
So, if that's your 670rwhp tune, are you saying that your car will go 148mph with your 775rwhp tune?

you said that not me, but if the theory of 1mph per 10hp holds up then you would be correct.
:edit: these are two movies from friday night (pump gas tune)
the huge flame is what happens when the 2 step doesnt work right.. too much fuel in the 2 step fuel map i guess??

I run my QA1's @ 2 in front and 3-4 in back I leave one side stiffer in back so I wont need an airbag. I would leave @ about 3500 and I 60 ft in the low 1.4's That was back when I had the stock a4 and stock TQ arm in the car. No sway bar either. and full weight about 3800lbs.

Awesome runs Dave. I didn't even know you were there till I heard the turbo whine during your burnout. I'll get the videos downloaded this week and hook you up with a link. But it's amazing how your times drop by tenths where everyone else is dropping by hundreths! Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see your fully street trimmed M6 break into the 9s. I know that car has it in it.

Put some real slicks on the car and dont street drive on them, a pain yes but you are making a lot of power and your 60' isnt going to come down unless you can leave the line harder and not spin. I can drive around on my ET streets because I dont make enough power to spin them at the track, getting a 3500+ lb car to get a 1.4x 60' on a stock suspension with that much torque is going to take some tire or a very very good suspension.
I would try the widest 28" real slicks you can fit on the car, just because someone can hook a lighter 9 second car on 9" slicks at XYZ track doesnt mean everyone can at their track.
An NHRA national event level track prep sure wouldnt hurt either
Dont foget that 60' timers will vary quite a bit between tracks so you cant compare. I have raced all across the country with very consistant cars and the 60' can be all over at different tracks. Even local here there is .1 difference 60' between my local 1/8 mile track and NHRA tracks like bristol and bowling green. Best 60' so far, dead hooking/wheels up ever at the local track is 1.620 (which had me bummed for an auto and good converter), bowling green the next weekend was 1.540s all day in hotter weather. Almost exact same 1/8 mile ET and MPH so go figure.
