Ugh, slow track times, timeslip inside, help PLZ!!
i say those are good times....u only have 3.23s, and slp shorties, which cant be much greater than stock, lol jk, a slight stall, and drag radials, other than that free mods dont help a whole bunch.....get out there on a cool day, you'll be happy..btw my best motor pass is a 13.82.....so u r just about right on.
My bolt on LT1 pulls on my friends 99 A4 Z28 with Lid and Loudmouth catback from 40mph to 120mph by about a car. I raced a 01 M6 WS6 with Borla and we were side by side, nobody pulling nobody from a 60mph roll on the interstate. LS1's have some crazy top end. A Longtubed and other bolt on LT1 M6 should be a "Drivers" race unless of course you have some of those LS1 freaks trapping 109-111mph with intake and catback. Of course its not the peak rwhp a car makes that determines which is faster. Its who holds the highest rwhp for the longest time. Thats why you see some bolt on LT1's only dynoing 300rwhp or so yet pulling some LS1's. The Longtubes help even out the powerband throughout the rpms.

From what I have read you have no more than maybe 20-30 RWHP added. I think your times were right on for your mods. Maybe in cooler weather you may have seen a 13.4xx, but I think you would need to do more to see 12's.

290 RWHP and Im in the high 12's. I think that is pretty good. Heading out this Wednesday if the weather is good and will see about getting this car closer to a 12.79. My goal is to be under 300 RWHP and around 12.4xx in the quarter.
what mods do u have....i havent been to a dyno yet, but i am assuming it is below 300 rwhp and i run 12.60s, so im kinda in the same boat as u...gotta get what power u do have from the motor to the ground!
i would look into buyin some 3.73 gears, www.gearsareus.com has one of the best prices on earth at least i think check it out and there fast on delivering i bought from them last week!
This is my friends car,
1996 White Ram Air Trans Am
LT1, A4
Bolt-on only no power adders
stock heads and cam
Best time:12.411@109.00
3.42 gears, Yank 32 or 3400 stall
SLP shorty headers, SLP loudmouth, 1.5 roller rockers, and some DR's.
He dyno'd 289rwhp with the Yank on the car.

I don't think your times were that bad considering the weather. LT1's hate high humidity, with low humidity you may have gained 1-2/10ths I would bet. That and lowering your 60' times to a 1.8 and you'd be getting real close to 12's. 3:73's wouldn't hurt either

oh, wow.
that's not normal is it? For a CAI, shortie, RR, stall car to run mid-low 12's?

The fastest bolt on LT1 in our area is in the high 11's.
109 MPH trap speed in a bolt on car? Post a complete time slip. He has basically dynoed the same RWHP as myself and yet my best was 104.60 MPH. I would really like to see a bolt on car, and especially one that only has those mods trap that. Im not calling BS, but woiuld merely like to see a break down on a time slip.
And a 12.411 with those mods, I must say its hard to swallow but not unbeilveable.

There is another guy on here with a Black WS6 that is trapping 109mph or right at it with bolt ons. I think its the ram air giving the extra mph or so. The only bolt on LT1's i've seen have been ram air.
An A4 car with bolt-ons trapping 109. Especially a car the has the bolt-ons, 1.5 RR's and is trapping 109, come on. Lets see some proof. 289 RWHP and he can trap 109
Im trapping as I said 104.60 with 290 RWHP so where is he getiing 4.5 more MPH from? M6 cars with bolt-ons I might beleive it, but an A4?
