Not bad then. But if you want to wake that car up, put in a quality converter and get a set of sticky tires.

My '94 ran 13.5-13.6 consistently at 101 in decent air with Edelbrock shortie headers, drag radials, and Moroso cold air as a comparrision, however it was a M6 with a Hurst short throw shifter. I suspect a higher stall converter would put you in the same range or perhaps a little better as you have a faster MPH than I did.

How much would drag radials help?

You have a lot more left in it. You should be able to cut a 13.5 or 13.4 out of it. Your mph is up there. 60' time is sharty.... work on launching your car better. an a4 likes to dead hook, no spinnage. a quality set of lca's would be the next mod to do if I were you.

Stuff happens. My ET can vary as much as .5 between July and October and the sixty foot times will be similiar. There are an incredible amount of variables to take into consideration on each pass to accurately quanity the details of the timeslip.

My time in sig backs this statement up. And I have 3.23s. You should hit around a 13.2 with your trap speed with a GOOD converter and DRs.
