Default Full bolt on A4 in 11's?

I'm curious what it will take to get a full weight a4 ls1 f-body to run in the 11.6 range without diving into internals. I have all bolt ons minus a fast intake, pulleys, and electric water pump. Any advice one can give is greatly appreciated, thanks!

11.6 might be pushing it but I think a 11.9 is feasible with the right suspension, sticky tires, good converter, and of course right track conditions.

I ran a 14.1 at 101 six times last wed with my car being an 01 with ls6 intake, slp ram air, slp lid, bellow, 85 mm maf on 17 275 zr1's. There was a 05-06 ls2 gto running 14.2 at 98-99 so unless yours is one of the lucky ones to run really quick from the factory I doubt it honestly.

Im hoping for low 12's high 11's with dart pro heads, slp pully, full exhaust, cam, 3600 stall and a built trans. Want to get the 315 tires on the 11" rear zr1's.

my rear has survived tons of abuse. they last longer in the auto's. my car went 12.2s with bolt ons at 4300 da. so 11s with bolt ons is very possible. that yank will really wake your car up. and 86zcamaro sounds like you and your friend need the driver mod bad those times are terrible

do you have a ls6 intake and a PnP TB?use lite weight rims and short tires.remove the spare tire and back seat.remove the front sway bar.get a adjustable torque arm and panhard bar.it only requires 380rw hp with the right combo.

It will be hard to break 11s but it can be done. I would at least cam it then your goal would be easier

Some people have done it before. Your car is not making any serious power so you might be able to get away with it. I snap my Driveshaft in half and broke my rearend lauching @ 2500 rpms with my stock gears on nittos 555r

Your T56 is the destroyer of rears and breaker of driveshafts, guess since my 10 bolt will last i should worry about my 4l60e huh?
