Somebody Help?! Just bought a 99 ws6.So far I got a lid,and a cutout,and some free mods.So me and my friend went to the track,I ran a 13.3 @106.9mph.I heard thats a pretty descent time.So does anybody have any sugg?I think Im going to get some 4.10's and a set of nittos for the track.
Re: Somebody Help?! Is it an M6 or an A4?
That time sounds about right, but you could probably do better with some practice.
Nittos are a good idea, and so are 4.10's if you have an M6. If it's an A4, then 3.73 is the most you'd want to go.

Re: Somebody Help?! So if I shouldnt get 4.10s should I get 3.73s or keep my stock 3.42s.My mechanic said Id see a big improvement in track times with some 4.10s and some drags(nittos).Any SUGG?

Re: Somebody Help?! Your times are similar to mine. I've only been to the track once in this car. Your 60' time will determine if you need to change your rearend. Personally, I'm just changing tires, and practicing first. I suggest you do the same. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Somebody Help?! So should I just get some nittos for now with my stock rearend,that way I could launch a git higher and not peel for my whole 60 foot.When I ran the 13.3 my 60 foot was a 1.9.I heard that a little high i should be more around the 1.7s.

Re: Somebody Help?! With a set of nittos im sure you can get in the 12's. Hell I honestly think that you can do it without the nittos, just some more time behind the wheel.

Re: Somebody Help?! if you got a gear swap i would go with 3.73s because they will be a much stronger gear being that the pinion gear is a little larger vs. the smaller 4.10 pinion. If you run the 4.10 you will be more likely to have rear end truble
