I have a 2000 a4 with b&b headers,Magnaflo x,B&b bullets rm racing intake and a predator.temp at track was 59 degrees.


Reaction.. .6858
60 ft........ 2.0925
Eight........ 8.7149
" "mph... 84.33
1/4.......... 13.107
mph......... 107.0

Is this about right?
I had some pinging at the top of 1st and 2nd.Used the predator stock performance tune.Any thoughts on getting into 12.9XX?

I would find a good tuner. 12.9 should be easy at those temps.

Get the detonation issue dealt with (you may have gotten some bad gas), get some gears and DRs and you are around 12.5.
