Default A4 Guys! I Need Your Help/Opinions!

With the mods listed below, conservatively, what do you think my 1/4 mile times should be. I'll be on stock run-flats, but this converter has a 1.9 STR so traction shouldn't be too great a problem. Thanks!

I would say low 13's maybe high 12's. It will really depend on if you can hook up or not. When my car was stock with the run flats on I ran 13.2's, but only at HRP. Any other track I couldn't hook the tires up and spun through the 60 ft.

I have no track experience but from what I've learned on the forum I'd guess about 12.5-12.8 range. How'd I do did I pass the quiz?

I would guesstimate between 13.0-13.5 with runflats. On runflats with the mods listed in my signature minus the LS-6 Intake, I ran a 12.79 @ 110 on an 80 degree day at Englishtown. Then again, I'm sure that an expert driver would have done better with my car than I did. I just wait for green and go, no revving up to a certain RPM level or anything special.

I would guesstimate depending on how well you drive, the weather, traction about a 12.6 - 12.7 area... but it all depends I put my 2002 A4 in the 12.7 area many times with Corsa Exhaust and Halltech Sidewinder!!!

Good Luck to ya :cheers:

A 12.7 might be possible on runflats with that converter... I'm guessing 12.9ish, though.

What other tracks did you go to? I've been to RCR in Seguin and traction was close enough to call it even with HRP. I was venturous a few years back and went to Navasota...welp, definitely not for me. Something about mass intoxication and high horsepowered cars takes the fun away for me.

I was running 13.20s-40s without the converter if that helps.

C5Owner: I went to Prairie Hill and Temple Academy Dragway. Night I went to TAD no one was hooking up. Bad track prep. I would not recommend Prairie Hill for a C5. It's not the smoothest track after the traps. My anti-locks keep coming on. :D

I ran 12.73 @ 108 recently. I would say my HP and yours are about the same. You have an edge on the exhaust (mine is semi-stock) but I think the 2002's are a little stronger than earlier years so maybe that evens things out.

Your Yank and programmer should help by 0.3 to 0.4.

I am guessing 12.3 to 12.5 with good weather (cool, 50 degrees, dry) and 60-foot time at 1.9-2.0. Launch at 1200-1500 and you will get in the 1.9's all day long. My 60 foot ET average for 15 runs to date is square in the middle of 1.9-2.0.

Let us know!!!

XTrooper,

I ordered a Yank 3000 today from Richard at Exit28(supporting vendor). I should have it installed either Friday or early next week and will let you know how my 1/4 time has changed. When I ordered my Powerloader last year, I went ahead and told them to set it up for a Yank 3000. I am finally taking the plunge.

13.1 is my guess. What are your shift points set at with the Hypertech? Are you using the 'power tuning'?

You'll fit right in then! :lol: I had to honk the horn and actually tap a few people with my car to get them to move aside so I could get to the starting line. :nonod: Literally, a couple 100 people standing right at the starting line and burnout area. :( The smell of alcohol was very, very prevalent.

My guess is 12.9 - 13.1, at first, then after some practice, 12.8
