new best 60' what do you think?
well went to the track today we had some decent weather (DA was between -105 and 149) i went last week and used drag radials (only got a 1.88) and didnt really need them so today i went with just stock GY runflats first pass i got a new best 60' of 1.83 (previous best on GYs 1.91) and everytime it shifted from 1st to 2nd it blew the tires away so i really didnt get any clean runs in so next week im going back with drag radials again
car is an 06 A6
mods are thermostat, vararam, lg longtubes, and tune

The best may be Nitto Invos or Ps2's for that combo.
My car is also slower on the motor with Dr's but on the spray they work great
My track hooks well on a not so sticky track Dr's will help they are also great on the street here I run them at 30psi on the street.
My ET's do not get better lower than 24psi but mine varry from 1.70-1.73 on the spray.
I think it has to do with keeping the max foot print on the ground since we dont have a solid axle

The lack of tire spin IE too much traction is hurting his 60' and ET but with street tires he spins on the 1-2 shift, I am not saying 40 is Ideal but 25-30 is slower than runflats with basic boltons and stock converter.

My car has Headers CAI and Nitrous
I said "I am not saying 40 is Ideal"
But I have the same problem he does with the DR's the car is slower NA.
It runs 12.5-12.7 with Runflats and 12.8-12.9 with the DR's IE too much traction is hurting the 60' and ET.
Since we have too much taction with the stock converter and bolt on power but a little too much power for the runflats, and he already has DR's higher psi may be the best or an inbetween tire.

On the motor or NA = no nitrous

I think for the bolt-ons we got, the DR's may not be a panacea. I think they work best for those with converters and or gears (like Dennis/JBblown). Also, for those with much higher hp...like a cam (Evilways). We'll have to see for ourselves (and LS1LT1) with our simple bolt-ons and tunes how well the DR's work. I'm going 24-25 psi and if no go, then dropping down to 22, 20 and 18 as the lowest and see how that works.

It does make sense now, to much traction for the stock converter.

I would have never thought to add air..I know that when i had the DR`s on at the 1/8, testing them out, the lower i went, the better the 60ft. But i never had the chance to test them at the 1/4 track. I will this year
