Mail order, I would guess a tenth or two depending if the shift points are close to optimum. How was the DA for you? I'm still waiting for some mineshaft air, before I hit up the track again.

You have a 12 second car, get that 60' down. Also create a sig, a4 or m6 ?

That's great. I have the same mods minus for a Magnaflow muffler plus a mail order tune. Cant wait to see what mine does at the track! Get a 160 t-stat and lt4 knock module before you send it in to get a tune. They will be able to advance your timing much more and the HP benefit will be greater.

Da? I'm currently not running a thermostat in it. Seemed like no matter how good i hooked my 60ft times didnt really get any better. I figured once i get a stall and some drag radials that should help. I think before i do anymore go fast parts im going to concetrate on suspension parts because hooking up is a problem and I get alot of wheel hop.Agree?

the tune should be good for a tenth and maybe 1 mph.

a high 1.8x or low 1.9x 60ft time should almost get you to the 12's. I would look into a stall and a set of DR's.

I would say more low 13s (13.2s to13.4s) in my book. I ran a 13.73 with lcas, brackets, panhard, strut tower brace, gmmg, and street tires (1.93 60')
