Trying to shave .17 E/T.. need some advice
my current best is 12.17 @ 112 with a 1.765 | A4
main mods are 3.42 gears, PT2900 T/C, C2 camshaft, vortex ram air cold induction, TPIS LT, no cats, magnaflow xpipe, corsa touring cat back on drag radials.
I'm looking to get in the 11's.
I think it may be possible by porting my TB and getting an LS6 intake.
Is this possible or i'm stretching it..

Change that PT2900 to a PT4000 and i guarantee you will get in the 11's as long as you get good traction.
In drag racing, it's all in the 60' times (mostly). And the higher stall your TC, the more improvement in the 60'.you might not like the daily driving of a 4000 stall TC.
You'll need to ask yourself... how much "normal road driveability" are you willing to sacrifice to achieve a desired ET ?

An LS6 intake will definitely help a cam'd car as will milling the heads.

The motor in my 2001 A4 Coupe is untouched. However my bolt-ons make a difference. Switch the Vortex to the Vararam and you should be fine. Check the mods and MPH in my sig The Vararam and tune picked me up 4.75 mph on the track over the vortex.

I think it can be done without getting into the engine and rearend. Use your stock TB and change to an LS6 intake. Also a vararam wouldn't hurt either. If you are having problems with spinning the tires, go to ET Streets. But whatever you do, make sure you have a good tune up on what you have. Go to a good track with good atmospheric conditions and you should be in the 11s.

I called my tuner VETTE DOCTORS yes they are in NY, and I am in Fla. said to Carmen what did you do, the times and mph were huge? His response was "I'm GOOD" but, that vararam picked you up a bit as well. Now either he's really modest or the product works very well with his tune. Both the Vararam and Carmen's e-mail tune were installed the same day........
