track time question I have an A4 99trans am with qtp long tube headers, ls6 intake and a whisper lid. the best i have run is a 13.7. is this a normal time? and if its not could you please give me suggestions on how to improve.
what was your 60' time and then we can tell you if your time is normal for the mods. And also, what mph? If your 60' is crappy and you have a decent mph, then you just need traction...

More important than what everyone else asked is what is your track's altitude because 13.7 could be a great run if you’re high up. If you’re around sea level though then that's not so hot. Rule of thumb for 60' times is that for every 1/10th you pickup you'll gain twice that at the end of the 1/4.

this is also in a 5.3L ext cab truck..., so if a less-modded car, with a decent 60 is running high 13's then he should trap a little slower... 
Where are you racing? That's a big factor. At most tracks, 103-104 is a slower bone stock time, and 13.7 would be kind of slow for a bone stock A4. The track elevation and weather is going to factor in big time depending on where you are racing.
