You need a set of gears and tires bad. Has your car been tuned yet?

Yeah its been tuned and i have a set of motive 3.73 gears that i havent installed yet. I could have busted a 12.0 flat easy if my if id had some DR's or slicks because i spun pretty bad on that run. i peddled it once or twice. I plan on getting some hoosiers or M/T radials. I cant wait to see what i get out of it with those two.

Since you have 2.73 rear I'm guessing you have an A4. What stall do you have in it?

it's not necessarily the driver mod (tires yes lol)
it's the gears ... and don't know what stall he has
not that I think 12.4/111 is bad with 2.73s .... but there's way more waiting with other mods

imagine if you cut just a 1.6 on a good sticky tire, you got a little over 1/2 second on the quarter, and then get some decent gears, who knows how much more you'll cut off your ET...should be scary fast

Those gears will actually make that stall easier to drive around with too.

Yeah i figured the gears will help alot, Mods to my car are Lid, P&P TB ,LS-6 intake, MAF ends, Stock 241 heads with Patriot .650 lift Springs, Comp 7.425 pushrods, LS-7 lifters, LS-2 Lifter Trays,Raptor Camshaft, JP Timing Chain, Stock Oil Pump, Slp Underdrive Pulley,TCI 3500 stall, 2.73 gears ( havent installed Motive 3.73s yet). I really love this cam VLANDER i picked up tons of power with this cam. My buddy has a 02 Z-06 with Dart heads and comp XER 232/234 and we run door to door from a 30 roll to around 110-155 mph and then he pulls away.

There is something wrong with that Z06, or the driver one of the two. A H/C Z06 should own a cam only auto F-body from a roll. It shouldnt even be close. Maybe from a dig you should hang... but a roll? I mean his six speed with superior suspension/ arodynamics/ 400 punds lighter should own a heavy, poorly geared, auto, F-body.
