Anyone here run mid to high 7's in the eighth and if so what do you have done. I have a friend who says he runs 7.4 all motor with a few bolt ons (headers, cam, intake, exhaust, P+P heads, 2.73 gears, a4, and slicks)
does this sound resonable, he does have 2.73 gears so I don't believe he can get the launch needed to get that kind of time. Anyways, let me know what you guys think?

 

I have friends,both with '99's.

-Long tubes,4200 stall,ET streets,free mods
11.9 in the 1/4

-Bolt-ons,manual tranny,stock exhaust manifolds,street tires
7.7 in the 1/8th

My '98 has a few mods but a few problems as well.I run consistant 8.2's and 8.1's,with a 2.0 60'.....

 

Heads,cam,LT's, 2800 stall all add up to times in sig.

It is possible your friend could be running the times he is telling you.

In the sig! Hopefully once I get my new combo tuned it will run in the 7.20's 1/8 11.4's 1/4.

Mods in signature, I run in the 7.4's time frime. I also have 3.73's and a stall.

It might be possible but.....
Now your friend must have a different stall converter in it and a pretty good combo setup to achieve that.

 

Times in sig. Note the tiny cam and race weight too

 

Mac headers and offroad pipe, 3200 converter, cutout, lid and filter, ported stock MAF and TB went 7.80 @ 88mph. 99 Z28 A4.

 

7.26/95.6 so far is the best on the new motor......

.....Did manage 7.87 and 89.4 mph with bolt ons somhow...

 

what could i expect with a stock 99 A4 with 2.73's..in the 1/8th..just an estimate..are high 8's an unreasonable expectation??

 

Very reasonable. Buddy of mine's wife's car went 8.7 with lid and a passenger in the car.

 

My 355 10.5 to 1 w/ a 306 cam lightly ported heads, 52 mm TB, LT's dual exhaust TH-350, all other bolt-ons went 7.70's @ 90mph in the Texas heat.

 

Let me update the new sig
