Re: what should i be running So, you guys think he is going to get mid 12s with a stock cam and heads
I think your being a little unrealistic
Basicly, his A4 car has a set of LTs and a lid. With good traction, I say 12.85

I bought one new in 97. With an aftermarket cat-back, the car will make about 295 rwhp. Believe me, with no wheelspin, that will get you a mid 13 second ET on a 3,650 lb race weight car.
Now, the newer LS1s have better exhaust manifolds, an LS6 intake manifold (on the 2001-2002), and better factory PCM tuning than the 98s. That combined with an M6 may get you a [very] high 12 second with a good driver.
Bottom line, a stock 98 A4 is a mid 13 second car. I don't care if John Force or Jesus Christ is driving it.
Like I said before, a 98 A4/3.23 geared car with a set of LTs, a lid, and a gutted MAF may get you down the 1/4 in 12.85 (on a good air day). I think thats being realistic....

Re: what should i be running MY 98 A4 with 3.23 gears
Lid, Muffler, 160dg thermo and
245/50 R16s would run consistant
13.4-13.5 ets.
Although I havent gone to the track
since the addition of Longtubes, EGR MOD
and ORYpipe, I did beat a TA from a stop
and a 55mile roll that has ran a 12.9.
I agree a 12.85 give or take a bit.
Climate will be the factor, maybe.
This is just an guess/opinion.

Re: what should i be running I ran 13.2's with my STOCK '98/A4/3.23's on my street tires at the track. That is at FULL STOCK WEIGHT. I did have to work on my launch and the track was in good shape, but that is what I ran. Tin Indian, those are realistic, true numbers. Way.
Fat Z28, I have similar experiences. With a good set of slicks with a good launch, I have seen stock LS1 cars of various years hit the twelve second mark.
Jacksonsz1998, I think that mid-12's are a solid probability. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: what should i be running i run 13.1 with a lid catback and drag radials in a 98 a4 3.23 car at nearly stock weight.
is this still on the stock converter? if so 12.80's is about all id expect out of the car too. stock converter kills the car all the way down the track. e.t streets might be a bit too much tire for the car also.

Re: what should i be running Not trying to be a *** tin you could be right 12.85 could be all that one could get but Im just saying I wouldnt be surprised if it did go mid 12's.

Re: what should i be running with all my mods i'll be upset if I don't run 12.70's-12.80's. I dunno- you be the judge. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
