How much more do I need to run High 12's

I have a 93 Z28 with a 96 Trans Am Engine only 30,000 miles.

It's an A4.

My Mods are:

K&N Cone filter

Hooker Long Tube Headers

No Cats

True dual 3 inch Exhaust

3000 Stall Torque Convertor

Ecu I think. My car shifts at around 6000

3:23 Stock Rear

CSR Electric Water Pump

Removed Egr and Emissions

TB Bypass

Slight weight reduction

I never actually ran the car.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Dan

With drag radials you might do it now.

Otherwise I'd agree with above.

What brand converter? As far as sticky tires, try a set of MT street radials. I think you'll like em.

Oh come on Jake it's an automatic. A4 + sticky tires = no practice necessary. Heat the tires up, stage, stab the gas, stop and collect 12 second time slip.

you should be able to get there with what you have provided you cut good 60ft times. If you cant 60ft now you ll b able to with a set of dr's.
The 3.73's will get you there even if you 60's suck.
What kind of weight reduction? How much? Getting your race weight down will help everything out across the broad.
