It should be quick, guessing 370rw and 3100lbs, but than me, 195lb so 3300 raceweight.

But il be on the dam ****** 10 bolt and i wont cut the 60ft like a a4 3600 stall, oh well it will still trap a good mph

If your car dont run close to 11s or in the 11s Id burn that car IMO
No. An M6 will have less drivetrain loss than his A4, but with that torque converter the A4 will have a large amount of torque multiplication. PERIOD.

Those 7 cubes are borderline irrelevant. The parts used in the rotating assembly will play a much bigger role in any sort of performance increase than that small change in displacement. If he went with a heavier setup, he may have actually lost performance. My money is on it's a wash, and irrelevant.

Just wondering because the vid didn't show but are you heating up those nittos? I ask because i ran my car with 20 psi in my nittos and it dead hooks with an m6 after a good burnout. And yes i saw that its auto

SHe definately heated up the tires, the vid started late and the other guy had a major smoke show compared to our little burnout. That vid was with about 18 psi in them and we actually got it to almost dead hook with about 16psi and caught a 1.77 short time.

I also think We have a problem, cause as soon as we left the track I got a check engine light that would come on and off. I willl need to scan that and get it fixed.
