New Best 1/8
just got back from irwindale raceway in my 08 a6. Last week i had charlie at rpm motors install a cold air intake and tune. Bolted on my drag radials and ran a new best 1.86 60ft 7.77@93.61. My previous best was 7.91@92 with much better conditions.

That's a strong improvement, especially considering the race conditions weren't as nice, your future times will likely still improve some more as well.

On a 7.85 sixty foot with the exact same 1.86 sixty foot I was able go a 12.07 (also an A6 with a CAI and tune)....a 7.77 in the 1/8th is more than enough for an 11.9 and maybe even a high 11.8x.

I've ran similar times at barona raceway in san diego. I agree that the 1/8 miles sucks, But no 1/4 tracks are open in so cal yet. In a couple of weeks i will be hitting the 1/4 when fontana and famoso open. I cant wait for the 1/4. But for now the 1/8 gives me good practice for reaction times,traction, and launch technique.

I could only leave the line@1000rpms anything more I would just spin. The car has a Vortech Supercharger with a generic predator tune. I really want to go see Charlie and get a good tune and some LG's

Charlie just did a cold air and tune on mine last week. It made a big differnce. I kept hitting the rev limiter because my drag radials are 3/4 inch shorter. You need better tires. next time i go i might run my street tires.You should make a pass on my mickey thompsons.
