Yep got killed tonight and I am having problems digesting it. Raced 3 times and he got a jump on me the first two. He had two cars on me from 40mph to around 100mph. The third he let me jump first and then he couldn't catch up but he was following me close to my quarter panel. I got basicly nothing except what is noted in my sig minus nitrous which is seating on the corner of my table right now. This guy had a three gauges on the pillar and a super huge ricer exhaust. The fact that I am A4 didn't help me cause my tranny was delaying the shift when punching it and that sucked. I had a passenger and he didn't... but I would of liked destroying him instead I got riced.

That doesn't sound too too bad. You had the extra weight of a passenger, he got the jump the two he won, he couldn't chase you down (though he could be faster and still not be capable of running you down), and you were racing from a roll on a stock A4 with 2.73's..........hook up that nitrous to make it power adder vs power adder and then see what's up.....

Nothing to be ashamed of man.. those 90's DSM's are no joke. Very quick cars.. and I'm sure one of the guages you saw was for BOOST... Just install your nitrous and spray him. You're pretty much guaranteed a win if you can hook up the tires.

AWD Eclipses can be quick as **** for a 4banger if built correctly. solid 11-second cars in full street trim arn't uncommon. They cut 1.7 second 60' times with just a few mods and a good driver. i'm not suprised he got the jump on you. That being said, the nitrous kit would probably put you completely back in the running from a roll.

AWD DSMs are very respectable. It's not really a surprise that you got beat by a modded one.

all my friends are dsm guys. they are scary some times. i dont trust turbo imports because of these guys. slowest one is like mid 12's and that guy has like no money in his car. ya IMO, AWD DSM's can be scary mothers, especially from a dig.

Fishv12

Just a question... From a roll would a torque converter help anything. The most I felt was the delay from the tranny shifting down. From a dig everything is different but not from a roll. Ain't the 2.73 gears suppose to help me at top end compared to the 3.23?

Skarecrow

with gas mileage maybe. or at the VERY top end (like 120+). until you run out of rpm in your top gear, steeper gears are almost always better (within reason. putting 5.10s into a street ls1 is a bit much).

HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

Fishv12

I need more $$$ so I can beat imports all day long

Vendetta

A torque converter would drop you further down in the RPM range of the gear that your tranny downshifted to. So, yes, it would help you out from a roll.

Aftermarket torque converters are the car gods' gift to A4 F-Bodies.

Thought it was a big waste of money till i was talked into one. NIGHT and DAY diffrence!

I am just quite lost with all the different things I can do to this car and the options a person would have. I plan on using nitrous but I never get around and actually install the kit altough I really know how to do it. I just don't have a garage and time on my hands is extremely low from work, gym, bike, movies and different activities I always do lol. The thing with nitrous is that it scares me more since you have to verify everything is alright more often then just heads/cam and bolt ons. It seems to me things can go really wrong on the juice compared to other really solid options plus I was planning to use it track only. I would like to go head/cam but there is no definite answer on what would be the greatest route to take vs. power outcome. My route would be the one that can make the most power for the money and stay reliable and safe and emissions legal. My plan is:

LT Headers (not too low to the ground)
Hooker cat-back w/ ory pipe plus cats
Torque converter (don't know which)
Head/Cam combo
+nitrous track only

And with all that I still don't know what ET I would end up with, power level I would be at or how much I would be looking at really. Would it be worthwhile ?

The best bang for the buck, i would have to go with the converter/ spray. I Personally have a Vig3600 stall and spary a 125 shot behind that. That combo I can take 03-04 cobras all day long
