Yes, 98 had their own heads. They sucked. 99-00 had their own heads, they were marginally better. Late 00-02 had 241's, those flowed the best out of stock F-body heads. If you're going to upgrade, 243's are Z06 Vette heads and flow phenominal out of the box.

At what RPM are you getting on the sauce? I'd nail it just below 3k.

Something does not sound right with his trap speeds. I know, I have m6 and he has a4, but my first time to the track in Gainsville Fl with my car I ran 13.3 106 with a lid and a flomaster on a 2.2 60ft. So 102 N/A and 109 N2O seems kinda fishy.

Dude you need to do something my car with long tubes and catback only went a 12.54 on kuhmo street tires with a 1.98 60. My blind grandmother could go faster then that in her rascole scooter. You should sell your car to someone that will put it to good use.

I'd rather have a slow T/A than have a fast stang, but I'd sure like faster T/A so I want to fix whatever is going on.

You guy's helped me narrow it down to my 60'er, my buddys are doing better on street tires than me and I'm on D/R's.

Beside's the driver what kind of things can cause a poor 60', because I honestly don't think it's me (A4)?

I have full weight and im about 240 LB's, wheels in the rear are 18" alluminum c-5 wheels with 285/35/18 D/R's with 18-20 PSI @ the track. Launched at 1700 RPM.

hey get a gym membership and bring your weight down from 240lbs to 190-200lbs and then check out that 60' i say you def. need a TC, and maybe the weather you ran in was just horrible or something. and you definately need to get a bottle heater and gauge so you can see what nitrous pressure you are running.

Does the weight really play a big role in 1/4 mile time , my buddy that dirves the 01 on street tires got a better 60' and he weighs at LEAST 290 LB's.

I thought you said you were on stock TA wheels. You would definitely hook harder on a different drag radial. I've gone 1.6x on a 245/50/16 Nitto and 1.5x on a 255/50/16 MT ET Street Radial.

What is your launch technique? It says 1700rpm, might be a little high for a stock converter car. Are you flat footing it or rolling on the throttle. It takes alot of seat time to make a car work. Another aside, I went 2.0x all day long in my 00 V6 Firebird with 235/55/16 Goodyear Eagle GA's.

Have you ordered HP Tuners yet? Or some sort of datalogging software? You're pissing in the wind without monitoring what the car is actually doing when it's going down the track. I'd liken this situation to a sketchy gloryhole. There might be a girl on the other side, but you will never really know.

Okay Like I Said Before I Am Running 2.0 60fters Also In An A4 With Stock Stall And Et Streets......answer These 2 Questions For Me.

1. In An A4 Is It Better To Run In Overdrive Or Drive...everyone Says Drive Shifts Harder But I Have A Shift Kit So What Would Yall With A4s And Experience Suggest?

2. Out Of The Whole Stall Up Or Not? Other Drivers Said With Just Foot On Brake And Other On Gas And Slamming Gas On Go Lets Stall Flash And Works Better?


And I Ran A 1.95 The Other Night And A 2.0 Not Big Diff In Ets And I Read On Stock Stall 1.9s Is As Good As It Gets
Am I Wrong?

No I got the 18" c5's.
Burnout, stage, rev up to about 1700rpm after that the tires start spinning, as soon as the last yellow comes on I let go of the brake and slam on the accelerator. The car doesn't peel out, it feels more like it stumbles . Another thing I nocticed is that my car leans to the right, so I'm assuming my right rear shock is out. Would a bad shock cause poor 60'?

I had the Taylor wires but, when I changed out the plugs for NGK's (for the N2O). The boot also seperated, so I have my factory wires on. I just put these plugs in about 3 weeks ago.

I also aired up the tires to 25 PSI and went out to the country and tried it out, feels a little better I'm sure a burnout would help out. Im going to try it out with my buddy's ws6 tommarow.
Another buddy has a foxbody with a 351-408 stroker, trick flow heads, vic jr upper, 2 demon carbs, and a whole lot on n2o. He had a tubbed notchback with this engine and was going to be a track car, but he never got around to building a roll cage so he wants to see how it does in the street in a lx, before he starts street racing for money with other people. I think I'm going to have put this race on hold for a while.
