First Track Run!

Not bad I guess at 13.2sec. @ 108mph with a 2.73 rear and street tires. I will have to get more runs in but I'm not sure how much more I can get, only have CAI and exhaust by-pass.

Im not sure where you are located, but that sounds like a pretty good run for 2.73's.

Thanks, I'm in northern NJ and ran at Island Sunday afternoon. I was hoping that it would stay cool but it was hot late in the PM.
I felt good in that my Camaro with bolt-ons and a 3.73 rear with drag radials at best was 13.4/103.

Not bad numbers if your car is stock. Sounds like it is. What are your 60' times?

my first run

With street tires I just ran a 12.985 @ 115.03 but my sixty foot time was 2.396!

I am running 3.46 gears with a H/C set up.

Congrats !!! that is a very good time for a 2.73 with basic mods and an A4--I have seen most 3.15's run in the 13.00 range basically stock with some mods--and many M6 cars run even slower with drivers that have limited experience

Yea, rear gears mean a lot in the 1/4 mile, I'm sure I would be in the 12's with a change and slicks. However, I love the economy of the 2.73with most of my street driving. I lost a lot of that with my Camaro when I went to the 3.73.
My 60' time was 2.0.. sec (twice) which is probably difficult to improve upon under the present circumstances. Maybe I will try another run in the cold before the end of the season.
