Holy Smokes!

I'm just having a bit of fun! I never intended to upset or annoy anyone.

My sincere apologies to anyone I have offended.

In my case, I took a 92 LT1 A4 from 13.85 (bone stock) to 13.17 just by adding 3.54 gears and a 2600 stall TC. Kept the D36, ran on street tires, no engine work, stock exhaust. The D36 died when I added a HotCam and LT headers.

Driver upgrade.

My 94 LT1 got a 13.006 with just a Centerforce clutch, drag radials, muffler removal, K&N air filter, and spare tire removed.

This was absolutely perfect weather, however. I usually run 13.2-13.3.

If you do what I did (or at least Drag Radials and K&N air filter) you should be pretty darn close to a 12.999. That's all I want to get... just once, so I can say I have a 12 second car.

I'm waiting for perfect weather again in the winter to attain this goal...
