The car probly fell on its face coming out and had to wait for rpms to shoot up again. I think that was the problem that you hook to much. You need to come out harder so yeah stall..

GTOdave

yea i know i need a stall..how are the driving ablities with like a 3800 stall?? are they ok?,,i would assume that it was be just like taking off in 2nd gear..and im afreiad if i get a better stall and i actrully HOOK UP that my rear end is not gonna like me very much and go boom lol

It's all part of the game. If you are worried about breaking parts, then the dragstrip is not the place for you. If you hook, you go fast and parts may break. If you spin, you go slow. Pretty simple equation.

Sarahgto

Get a smaller stall if worried about daily driving or up the gear ratio. Not all the tracks are the same so you might not due as good as some but as long as its fast enough for you. I would get a 3800 stall.. you can always rev up car to take off faster from a light you know..

I think you need to get a stall,better tires and find a tuner that knows what the hell he is doing.

GTOdave

do you think my car should be pushin more horse then 380 at the wheels....with Longtube headers, V2 camshaft..stage 2.5 PCR fully CNC ported heads ? i think it should be at least in the 400s.....

My 06 is 388 and 340 with shorties, no cats, comp 224-228 xer, 3000 stall unlocked and tune so you are pretty close to me numbers wise. So far my best 1/4 was a 12.504 @108.52 with a 1.768 60' but that was before the cam and I was using slicks on a well preped track.

Sarahgto

Should push close to 420 with the prc because the compression ratio on those heads are like 11:1 because of the 59cc chambers

Sarahgto

My bad saw there ls6 heads i thought they were 5.3 heads. So those are 64cc heads and should be like 10:5:1 like the z06 but should still be in the 400hp range but all depends on tuner too

Don't worry about the dyno numbers. I've got almost the same setup as you do, except with a stall and I have the same NA hp #'s. When I first got it tuned I was pissed about my #'s, but when I got to the track I saw my times and felt much better. My times are better because of the short times. Practice, dump the Nitto's (dropped my 60ft by .3) and get the MT's, get a stall and practice. I've got a stall set between 3000-3200 and it's perfect for track use and daily driving. I've probably got 100 passes on the trans and rear and "knock on wood" haven't broken anything yet. Oh yeah, have fun with it, try not to get so frustrated.

GTOdave

so u have nothin done to your rear end?? just stock 10 bolt??

Yup bone stock in the rear end. I have the pedders setup for the rear. Big bore shocks, drag springs and most of the bushing. When I put in the springs, shocks and bushings the wheel hop went away completely. When I switch from Nitto's to MT's the wheel spin pretty much disappeared. Even when I spin a little my 60's aren't over 1.9. Again get a stall suited for your cam and then look at the rear suspension.

You need a driver mod. Go to 4-5 TNT and learn to drive the car. The car is fine.

Put a converter in your car and a real tune. Then practice your launches.

You should be running 11`s

No. '04 A4's are dogs, trust me I have one. ALOT if not most of the '04 A4 dynoed stock 280-290HP and that comes from one of the most repected board sponsors who is prob. the best tuner in the Northeast.

I have a 3200 Vig and streetwise it's perfect. I'm just surprised your running that cam on a stock converter, that's crazy. Do you at least have a tranny cooler? I'd be worried about frying the tranny more than anything. No matter ANYONE tells you, a stock converter is NOT meant to handle that size of a cam, not one bit, I don't care who tunes it. That's why there are aftermarket converters. Out of curiousity, how is the car on the street? I'm surprised that cam isn't just pushing straight through your converter...does the car lurch badly, etc.? Again just curiousity questions.

Another member had a good comment about bringing the RPM's up at the line...keep in 3 and bring RPM's upto 2k and ease into it.

All comments so far have been good but at least invest in an aftermarket converter and tranny cooler.

i love how you guys are bashing me on a driver mod and your have never seen me drive before..its not a driver mod when i cant conect at a shitty tract with nitto drag radials.. idk if u guys look at your power band or not but when a power band is 1900 to 7400 and im lauching at 1100 rpms ( bc thats stock stall) im not gonna be pullin off 60s like 1.8 1.7 //thats not my problem..just dont tell me how i cant drive and to go learn how to drive..lt me get my converter and rear end then ill tell yoiu guys im running mid 11s and then i would like u guys to tell me i cant drive ..

GTOdave

yup i used my old AC radiator bc i toook my ac off... and on the street my Goat is the master at 40 rolls..it feels very very strong and when your cruzing at 60 and punch it , it drops down very well ..all i can say is that it shifts like it should.. and i cant keep them at 2k man,,idk but at 1100 ny tires will either brake loose or my car will push right through the brake......
