i just wasnt sure what to expect and when i was hitting 15's i was getting pissed then finally hit that 14.7. I wasnt really lookin at the 60 ft until the final runs, but once i get those tires i should be good to go

Sweet, an LS1 owner that isn't elitist!

On another note, there was an LT1 T/A at the track the other night running 15.0@95 on a 2.1 60 foot. Wonder what the **** was wrong with his car LOL

yeah most the ls1 owners act like the lt1's are honda's.

Usually too full of themselves.

Sweet, I haven't seen a Citation that runs, in at least 10 years, it must be that west coast...

with 6000' DA, and no track prep, my bone stock A4 ran high 14s....it ran a 15.30 once, due to the driver....don't let your g/f drive your car unless she knows what she is doing. Full throttle means FULL throttle.

raise the bet to 50, and make him cry! g'luck, let us know what she runs!

Hey guys i have the opportunity to trade my stock gears for 4.10's

I am definitely thinking about doing this deal, how much worse is the gas mileage, and how much more will these gears help me, I am really concerned about breaking the rear end, let me know what you guys think thanks!

M6 or A4?
M6 it is nice. I had them in my 96 LT1. If you have an A4 it should do well with 3.73s.
Gas mileage, ah who cares about that ****...
It will go down a few mpg.

I will be in then. I will be lauching right around 1500 rpm, the car leaves good there with just a little spin, anything more than that and the tires smoke away. So with 20 psi in the rears and 40 psi in the front. I should be good to go.
I did about the same the first time I went to the track. I spun 1st and second and got 14.7

My 3:23 geared auto went 14.1 and 14.2 consistantly at 96/97mph stock on 2.1/2.2 60fts.

Also had a fubared 3rd gear at the time I ran it.

Should have no problems man.

Thats' what my 95 Z28 A4 2.73 car ran first time at the track stock 14.25 with a 2.08 60ft.

I did all the free mods and cam back a year later 14.22 so free mod sare worth diddly squat.

I put some 3.42's in and shorty headers and ran 13.89

I don't mean to sound elitest but this LS1 just ran 13.36 with a TCI3000 and I shut down a surpercharged 94 T/A.

The LS1 is so easy to get in the 12's once I get my LT's on there I'll be knocking on the door of the 12's. I may not bother with the 3.73's

I think my LT1 sounded better as I have a cutout on it and it was the best car I've had until now!
