The local track is finally back open and made it out to give the car a try with some new mods...

1st pass:
60' - 2.166 (spun my *** off, was suprised it was even a 2.1)
1/4 - 13.482 @ 106.35 MPH

2nd pass:
60' - 2.122 (spun again...)
1/4 - 13.32 @ 107.1 MPH

Mods are Jet-Hot LT's, ORY, full 3" catback w/ spintech muffler, SLP CAI, 4.10s, 1.6rr's, spec stg 2 clutch.

Race weight was 3450lbs
Car weight without me was 3295lbs...im a skinny murf, I know

I know I need some tires (was run on bald 275/40/17 kumho 712s), but I was pretty pleased with my times considering my horrible traction. I was really suprised with the MPH. I was hoping for 105 and was really happy with the 106 and couldn't believe the 107.

What ya guys think...think 12s are possible with traction? I think I could get REALLY close atleast.

 

If I can run a 12.8 @ 108 with headers, gears, free/cheap mods and drag radials, I'm sure you can do the same with more modifications.

 

Awesome times matt! I'm glad to see your car getting to where you want it. I KNOW it has some 12s in it!

 

u have 2-3 mph on me. so i am pretty sure u can do it. atleast a 12.9 is capable, try to do it while the weather is still good. and some sticky tires will be all thats needed!
good luck

 

Looks like 1.8 60's (very doable), even a 1.9 maybe, will get you into the 12s!! Your 107 trap speed is great. Get some DRs on there and have at it!!

Yea im seeing 12's w/ a better launch

 

you guys are lucky with all my hp the best i could do was 13.3 at 112 with a 2.5 60ft time, i can't drive. great times

 

Drive it like somebody else is paying for the clutch!

 

What were your 1/8 mile et and mph?? I have close to the same mods with and A4 2800 stall

 

not sure who that comment was directed at, but since u asked i will give u mine.
1/8th e.t -----8.369 @ 83.37 mph
and this was done with a 1.992 60' ft

 

I was asking the orignator of the thread but thats cool I ran a 8.652 @81.95 with a 1.990 sixty pretty much stock with programming and Nitto's, I just put my 2800 stall in and LT's so friday should bring a new best.

 

What kind of exhaust do you have after the headers? I'm asking because I've got the crappy, restrictive stock exhaust after the ypipe with a flowmaster muffler. If I want to see the gains from the headers, I need to free that up badly.

 

if my 4100# imp can run a 12.97 with only 102.6mph, then surely you can get the same ET or better with 4.5 more MPH It's all in the sixty foot!

 

You guys amaze me. Nice time

I wish my car was that fast----I beat you in the 60' and you smoke me in the 1/4......i really hope i figure it out this summer.

 

More seat time and a set of tires should do the trick. Nice runs.
