What do you think?

I have a 97 WS6 A4.. close to stock.. what do you think I would run come spring time in 1/8th and 1/4... just an estimate..
Mods
BBK 1-5/8" shorty headers (on car when bought)
SLP LoudMouth II catback
Air Foil
SLP 160 thermostat
Hypertech Programmer
CAI
Rear end completely swapped out with new parts (Auburn posi, 3.73 gears, Yank SS 3600 stall converter)
TransGO shift kit
Nitto 275 555r drag radials on the back on my stock 17x9" rims

Completely stock with Summotomo 275's it was running 9.0-9.2 in the 1/8

Thanks guys!
Marc

Yeah, I figured that stall would drop a lot of time for me.

I was just wondering. Haven't had time to run the car yet. At 100k miles the car still runs strong and the tranny is still shifting smooth as butter and its eager.

I was hoping somebody would reassure me of atleast mid 13's

if ur rear end is not making any noise or anything out of the ordinary... just get a T/A Girdle change the rear end fluid and call it a day.... i have been running hard 2 full seasons of racing on my 10 bolt and their is 0 problems or noises... an A4 with only bolt ons usually is safe when it comes to the 10 bolt...

I also had the cheaper option of completely swapping out the stock 10 bolt (I have 100k on my car) and redoing it all with a new 10-bolt with MAC (whatever brand name it is) girdles, welded subframe connectors, swapping stock posi with eaton or auburn, etc.)

I plan on using Motive Performance 3.73 gears
