You will be in the 13s easily. Low 13s if you have a 3.15 rear-end.

Change out the Blackwing for a Vararam and with a good 60' of about 1.60 you should hit 12:86...I did!

I have to tell you I have a bone stock 97 60,000 miles, auto and I ran a 13.20 a month or so ago. So it is possible you will be in the high 12's. I just did an x pipe, corsa cats, 160 thermostat, and blackwing I hope to be in the mid to high 12's next month when i go back to the track. oh and I also swithched to royal blue oil.

Get rid of the hypertech programer tune and you will probably do better. It is a POS and when I first got my car, it slowed me down. Get a real tune, you must be leaving some power out of the picture. Unless you are racing at a 5,000 plus density altitude, you should be running better, even dead stock.

I agree with LV Vette, I ran 13.67 stock A4 with 3.15s taking it easy on the car with a 2.1 60ft and a more retrictive European exhaust!

My Vette has a quietness pack on the exhaust for the European market!

I think I could get that down to 13.4 if I got a 2.0 second 60ft time

Hmmm...

I ran a relatively bone stock car (zip tie mod and magna flows) with the 3.15, no handheld tuners and a 13.1 in the 1/4 all day long. Maybe trying something else out will help.

Break 13 - probably not. You might get into the low-mid 13s though.
