only got two runs first time at the track with the new t/a... 1 run was dissapointing and the second i screwed up royally cause i was still staging (in reverse) when the light turned

these are the results... should i expect more from my basically stock car... or what? humidity was low maybe 40% temp was around 70 track was actually fairly tacky braked it up to 1,400 rpm and hardly spun

1st run ever:

r/t .093
60' 2.149
330 5.865
1/8 8.852 @ 83.11
1000 11.428
1/4 13.620 @ 102.84


2nd run screw up:

r/t .555
60' 2.227
330 5.948
1/8 8.944 @ 82.81
1000 11.525
1/4 13.720 @ 102.79

 

dont buy SLP, except their lids

 

You didn't do too bad. Atleast you didn't run a 13.3@84 mph like I just did. Car wouldn't shift into third so I let off before the 1/8 and coasted the rest of the way down the track.

 

0.093 sec r/t in the first run? I think it should have caused a red light.

 

red light?? why? i whole idea is to go just before green so you get the lowest reaction possible... a guy got a perfect 0.000 r/t while i was there 1 thousanth earlier, would have been a red light.

i was hopin for no more than a 13.4 =[

 

Clean your 60 up and your times will be lookin good...SLP makes god products, espcially exhaust...theres just some things slp makes that I would go elsewhere

 

Your times will be just fine as soon as your 60' time gets down to a 2.0 which is more then possible with halfway decent track prep. You'll be around 13.4 @ 103 I'm guessing which is more then acceptable for a 2002 A4 WS6. Get a stall and drag radials and you'll be 12's all day long.

 

offhand would anyone know if a stall, install ( ) in an ls1 would be any different from the one i did with my lt1? also... say i got some et streets and a stall whats the lowest stall i could run to expect a 12.9x? i really don't wanna go with an extreme setup with this car so anything over 3000 can't happen.

also... with the 2800-3000 stall and et streets setup, how does the rearend in these ls1's hold up?

 

Why are stalls above 3000 not acceptable? I just had a 3200 installed on my car. Streetable as can be. Be even more streetable once the 3.73s get put in.

 

car has to remain what i'll refer to as "reversibly modified" for resale in a matter of months... gears aren't worth it to me i redid the whole rear on the lt1 and kept the 2:73's.... ok... maybe that was a f up... but 3:23's are sufficient


as for a stall... i just don't like running a street car that gets 500 miles a week put on it sometimes... with a 3000+ stall

2800 nice.... 3000 probably what i'd settle for

long as there are no hang ups... (which there usually are) and the install is the same as my formula... i can do a stall install myself in about 5 good paced hours

to be honest... high 12's is all im looking for out of this car... if i can get mid/high 12's out of a stall, tranny cooler, et streets, exhaust and intake.... more da better

but thats probably as far as im gonna bring it.... MAYBE headers IF i end up changing my plans on selling the car AS SOON as im planning on it.... longest of the longest, im not gonna have this car more than 7 months.... duty calls

The TCI 3000 has been reported as being extremly steetable with gains of .5 in the 1/4. Plus the converter is only $450 or so brand new. You'll see some 12.7's I'd bet with a good set of drag radials and the basic bolt-ons. Torque converter installs should be pretty much the same from car to car I would think.

Good Luck

 

12.7 would tickle me pink


thanks for the help guys

 

i don't see what you're upset about. for an a4 with 2.73's that's a damn good time, especially with flowmasters on there. get a cutout and you'll probably notice a good improvement







edit: nevermind this is for your new car. yeah those times kinda suck j/k man it's all good

 

what track were youy at?

 

tulsa raceway park...

dropped the y-pipe and got in 5 more runs the following weekend... better on each run... bested with a 13.33 at 104.78... in 80+ degree weather now i got some 11.5" et streets and the temps prob gonna be 15-20 degrees lower this weekend... cross your fingers for me for a 12.999!!

edit: another thing... ya think its actually worth it to take out my spare tires and jack and keep the gas tank low? whats that good for? a whole 10th??? if it'll shave a 10th i'll do it.... but im not gonna bother for a few hundreths
