Is it possable for a stock LT1 a4 to cherp the tires in 2nd and 3rd gear at WOT?

 

Sure. Lots of things come into play. Tire choice, road condition, etc.

 

Even with 128k on the engine?

 

What does mileage have to do with anything?

 

+1 Why does that matter to ya, OP?

 

Wear and tear The person that owned the car before me did not take car of the engine very well. I have been going through hell replacing and rebuilding the engine to make it run right before I start doing bolt ons.

 

and they did not know what they were doing I am guessing when it came to repairs.

 

My BONE stock 97 Z28 A4 with 97k miles spins and chirps going into 2nd @ WOT. It does on occasion chirp going into 3rd. This is with almost new Goodyear Eagle F1s.

 

I beat the **** out of a stock lt1 for years 94k and when I tore that engine down the cyliders still had the original cross thatch from factory bore and hone. Cams a roller so the cam is not loosing anything. I barked the tires hitting second (A4) with brand new 275 on the back. Trans was worked with a shift kit but engine was still stock.

 

hell before I got the wheels and tires I would hit second and it would just light those 245's up. Almost lost it a couple of times.

 

I am just hoping that all the time and money I am putting in to this is going to be worth it. So far everything is coming together good putting the last replacment part on this weekend. I have put new lifters, push rods, rocker arms, had the heads completly redone because the last owner put the head gaskets on upside down, and new trans last owner put the new filter and retainer ring on top of the old retainer ring so the filter was on the pan. New TPS, IAC and water pump.

 

1993 Z A4 rips second everytime at WOT....with 94K on the clock....

 

My 93 did it when it was stock with 186k on it

 

My 95 Vette did with near 200k

 

i hope you're at least upgrading some of this stuff and not using stock replacement

 

i would say its possible but not possable

 

I see what you did there.

 

I got plains in the making. This is only my second rebuild and my daliy ride. Plain on building a engine this year. And no upgrades yet. I got a lot of good prices and things were done as needed. Parts were some what cheep. Good to know some people.

 

A good example stock head rebuild I think was only 125 not to bad.

 

can a front wheel drive van spin the tires on ice?
