M6 - sticky tires and some fancy driving should get you into the 12's
.
A4 - stall converter and sticky tires
.
Notice the time in my sig ... even with 4.10's, I still need a stall

Re: new here
unless it's an auto, and you use the programmer for shift changes...it's probably better to sell it and get other mods.
but a lid, good catback and some good tires and practice at the strip should get you into the 12s.
mid 12s will need some headers, gears and suspension mods.

That's why I said you'd need some fancy driving!
If I knew how to do that fancy driving, I would have been more specific!!Besides, my car's an A4 ..... what the hell would I know about driving a stick?
Funny though, I was the guy who ran my Dad's 4-speed '73 into the 12's on my 3rd run EVER in the car (I mean at the track with ET Streets on it ... I drove it lots on the street), while the best he got was a 13.2!

I hit 12.99 with SSRA, Lid, DR's, ORYP, Catback, and my own tune w/ EFILive. Got a stall now and headers on the way. Looking for .50's.

.I'm .4 away with all the mods in my sig. less the SFCs. I think for A4s, drag radials, headers, and knowing what you're doing will get you there. All cars can be different though.

I would think that with a good converter, headers, and good weather that you could hit high 11s. A lot depends on the torque converter.

. Just go from 13's to 11's! I'm planning on a stall and headers next year, that's why I say this.

I'd run the car the car as is first. Get some seat time with the car, get a baseline for your ET and MPH the mod from there.
The mods are in my sig. I've only been able to muster a 12.84 but that's on street tires. I'm damn near trapping at 110 which is good for at least a 12.50 with some damn traction.
