need .2 for 11's, whatcha think of this plan of attack?

alright, last year i ran a 12.196 @ 110.96 on a 1.73 60' with a 4l60e (this was with a 3585 race weight.
with this it dynoed 333RWHP/341RWTQ


this year, the 4l60e was swapped for a T-56 and i am doing the following....

ASP pulley
LCA's
LS1 driveshaft
weight reduction......
skinnies (40-50lbs)
cowl hood (5-10lbs)
race seat (10-15lbs)(i have power leather seats)
front bumper support/impact bar (15-25lbs)
rear bumper support (25-30lbs)
AC delete pulley (15-20lbs


that should get me down to a 3435-3470 race weight and hopefully 360RWHP/355RWHP with the less drivetrain loss through the M6 and the addition of the ASP pulley

if i can hook worth a crap it should net me a high 11/ CAM ONLY!!!

the car has only been run once since the M6 has been in (no weight loss on this run).
it ran a 13.002@112.3mph on a 2.3 in FULL STREET TRIM (capped headers,street tires,belt on,ect.)

whatcha think?

Excellent hookin' car with the A4.

If you had the steel driveshaft, the aluminum one is worth about 10 hp, assuming that's what a LS1 shat is. Check it out for yourself on WS6.com.

If you can get it to hook like you did in the past, the 112.3 MPH supports a 12.04 pass. The weight reduction sinches the deal with another .1 off of that time. Excellent ride.

I think you will get to your goal after all the changes, with traction.

I think you stood a better chance of going 11s with the auto. I understand the problems that these transmissions have but it will be far more difficult to 60' with that m6. I know, I just purchased a 6speed ls1 and boy do I miss my a4 at the track. If you have a 12 bolt, drag suspension, and possibly some slicks/et streets, you can get pretty close. I think you will need a little more mph though.

yeah, the auto was great at the track but i am just a 6 speed guy at heart. when the auto was in, it had 100% stock suspension too.


those times i ran with the 6 speed where basically shake down runs. car was full race weight. prolly 100lbs heavier than usual (full tank of gas, street tires up front, jack and spare in the car, all seats in the car.)

i think it will be okay. i am going to go for broke and use the 10 bolt till it snaps. then i am SURE it will go 11's with my 9" and 4.33 gear
