I would think w/ the mods listed in your sig you'd be running 10's easily. What's the elevation at the tracks you race at? The ones here in MD range from less than 100ft to around 500ft so we get good air especially when it's cool out.

have no idea man. its central ohio...... I am sure I could run 10s. if I put gears, slicks and skinnies and drove it like I stole it. doubt the 10 bolt would hold it though. I am a m6 and its not as easy as your auto. so it would take practice. thats my point and my argument. they think its common and easy to run those times. maybe for an a4, not for a m6 and not with a 10bolt with stock gears......possible yes, easy no.

Ls6.. It is a basic setup but it a well put together setup. She runs decent.
My old white TA cam only (stock ls1 intake) ran 7.5s@92mph in 2400DA (was like 90 degrees that night).
Put intake/heads (no tune) on it and it ran 7.2s@96mph spinning its *** off (stock suspension) and hitting rev limiter (because of no tune). Same weather as last time.
My current setup only makes 370Rwhp but runs 7.2s@ 93mph full weight.. It still has a LOT left in it.. (intake/heads/was on nitrous tune hose runs)..
Power means nothing, it is the way you make it/etc etc etc..
BTW to answer your question
, I am currently changing over to a FAST setup.. I'm shooting for 7.0Xs @ 95mph or so.. After I do heads I'm shooting for 6.8s @ 98mph or so. Hopefully I will still be able to shave another 2/10ths off of it and MAYBE 2mph just changing some odd and ends with it not sure on that though. We will see....

so, it was so easy you had to do a 12 bolt, susp and gears I am assuming? everyone is missing the point. These guys are talking like its just so easy to run those times. my point is its NOT easy and the majority of cam only cars aren't in the 11's. I know with a GOOD setup it is done.
I also assume you have an A4?

Its not as hard as you are making it out to be. It doesn't take gears, slicks, skinnies, and full suspension to do it.

Actually it is easy. My car went 10.92 @ 126 on the stock 10bolt with 3.23 gears and 17in BFG drag radials. This was on a 100 shot. Rest of the mods were TSP 228R cam, bolt ons, and a Yank 3600 stall. Full weight 3650lb. car. Best on motor cam only was 11.64 @ 116.
Its not as hard as you are making it out to be. It doesn't take gears, slicks, skinnies, and full suspension to do it.

BTW - these are all a4 cars with stalls......
Not real sure why were are debating this. I know what my car is capable of. will I prove it, no. I don't want to go to the track. this thread was about a roll race. we were just pointing out that cory has beat (badly), several cam only and a couple h/c cars with his pullied cobra......

I havent ran my car here in cali because I live in hollywood and as far as i know there isnt a drag strip within 2 hours of me. But my old car was a 2k A4 WS6 with a Lid, LS6 intake, Catback, Cutout, Longtubes, Tune, Stock Stall, Stock Gears and street tires it went 12.6@111 and 12.4@112 on Nitto DR's

Yeah, but when they raced (LONG TIME AGO) the SS only had gears with a LS6 cam. With the LS6 cam he was running 12.3 @ 113mph. From what I know they haven't raced since then. When he ran those times and ran the Cobra he didn't even have longtubes either. I believe his SS is full weight too

Niterider- Decent times.....my brother trapped 112 with just bolt ons also.
