M6 or A4? You should be shifting at like 6800+ with that cam. If your shifting at 6000 you prob havent even peaked yet. Plus thats alot of cam if your heads are stock.

you should be in the 12's with that cam alone. given you have a tune and are running great... on smaller cam and only a 75 shot i see low 12s consistently. make sure your nitrous is hitting correctly. even with a horrible 60 ft you should be alot faster. your mph is really low as well. especially for a 6 spd car. whats the DA where you are at though?

You have serious problems there!

A 6 speed car with exhaust and cold air should have no problems doing those times. I'm gonna guess you are running on 7 cylinders or some other major ignition/fuel problem.

If the car runs amazing then your problem is you! Learn how to drive your 60ft is terrible.

If you dont have head work done with that cam it will actually hurt you. I had a friend who went from a 410 lift cam to a 610 lift cam and it put him from 12.20s to 13.20s. You also probally need a tune. Are you running colder spark plugs? this could also be an issue with the spray.

You said you're shifting at like 6100 when someone pointed out you should be going up to 6800 with that cam, thats the obvious problem. You also didnt verify yet if you have a tune or not...thats also a big problem.

they can move but without a driver mod a good set of rear shocks+ LCAs+ Torque arm will make a huge difference
