Default Mods are in - cant' wait for Spring

Just got the car back a few days ago after getting a nice package of mods installed into my '92 A4. Besides the 'free' mods, I already had the 3.54 gears in, which cut a half second or more off my quarter mile time, now low 13's. Greedy for more, I just had a Precision 2800 TC, Hotcam, and 1.6 RR's installed. The car now hauls *** like a ****. I can't wait for the gates to open next April at New England Dragway so I can join the 12 second club with my daily driver.

In good air with traction you may be in the 11 sec. club. Add LTs if you have'nt already.

All my stuffs going on this winter too.. I pull the car out March 1st for the mods (Too many to list... Practically bought a whole new engine, besides bottom end), and hope to be driving it again by April 1st. Hopefully all the snow goes away! Hope to see you at NE Drag. : )

Joe,

What's the short list of your planned mods? What're you doing in the quarter now, and what's your target?

Mike

You really think that a hotcam, TC and RR's can take more than a full second off? I'd love to think so, but I'm dubious.
