Default 12's???

I was wondering if 12's would be possible out of my car?

This is what I have now...
95z28
A4
3.23's
Pacesetter Longtubes
Pacesetter ORY
SLP CAI
SLP Loudmouth
NGK tr-55's
Taylor OVC Wires
Tune

I figure that should be good for a 13.5-13.6 with traction

So if I add a Edge 3200-3600 stall and some sticky rubber will I make it? If not then what about with 3.73's???

I would think you would be close with the stall, DR's and gears. What do I know though.

With a converter it should be in the 12s easily on tires, your set up now should run low 13s. We had a buddies 94 running 13.5s with just a Borla and a cold air, 2.0 sixty. My 93 TA was running 8.5s with a SLP LM, MTI CAI and a Vigi 3200 on street tires, 17s all around, my car is a turd by comparison to a lot of my friends LT1s, nothing special by any means. So if you added a converter, set of gears and tires, your car would be deep in to the 12s. I added Long tubes, some suspension to my car and it ran 12.8s, still has the stock 3.23s, still has big fat WS6 wheels up front, no skinnies. Like I said my car aint any thing special, Lt1s are plenty capable of 12s with bolt ons.

with the stall and the tire you should be in the 12s for sure. look into adjustable drag shocks for the back will help wiht traction.

I think the your combo with the stall, gears, and tires will get you there.

Currently, you will not be in the 12's. Somewhere around 13.4-13.5. Definitely after the stall and tires though.

after those mods you should be. If you have a low elavation along with low DAs (good air) you could prolly pull it off on a cold day with a good prepped track, and massive weight reduction.
