Re: Just Back From The Track

your mph seems kinda low, but it is really hard to tell without knowing the elevation of the track, and the weather conditions. 60 foot is decent, but could be improved by about 1-1.5 tenths with drag radials.

Re: Just Back From The Track

Depending on weather and elevation, and track conditions, and driving, I was running 13.5's and 13.6's with similiar mods at a similiar mph when I first started. ET is about efficiency and I think if you focus on your shifting you can get the ET down a bit. It takes a whole lot of practice to become extremely efficient at shifting. I am assuming your car is an M6 because of the 3.42's...

The bottom line? You are doing just fine and so is your car. An aftermarket cat won't do squat for your performance. I think the next things I would look at would be a mild cam and some valve upgrades.

I yea, don't forget a decent set of drag radials to get the sixty foot times down.

Re: Just Back From The Track

I'd say thats pretty good for an A4 with those mods. Not sure how much the SLP shorties are worth, but my car ran 98mph when it was stock with a 3.42 A4.
