A 12.8 on a stock A4 with nothing more than a CAI? You've got to be cutting some serious lights.

You have to consider where you are located from sea leval and weather coditions. Florida is going to be about one of the fastest places to run.

I have not measured the rwhp or run any trips down the track since I installed my Blackwing. But the sound of the air rushing in and the feel of the car suggests some improvement. Maybe this summer I will take it to the track and see just what it will go. :steering:

I live in southeast texas about an hour away from Houston Raceway Park (never figured out why they named it houston raceway park when it's located in Baytown). :lol: I was just saying that he was cutting some seriously good lights. That's a heckuva time no matter where you live.

How are you guys running 13.6's and 13.9's with a 350-375 hp car???? I ran a 12.80 at 110 with an A4 with 3.15 ratio and CAI. My C4 with basically stock was running 13.30's-13.50's at 103-104. My car dynoed at 323 hp and 342 tq. Your time would suggest almost a 75-100 hp deficit unless your short times were like 2.3-2.5.
Because many dyno numbers are absolute BS. My car dynoed 302.5 rwhp. I run 13.3 @ 110 MPH.
