11's with an 2005 a4 real tough
I have the same car
Best run 12.89 @ 109

Tune
CAI
3.42 Gear
Corsa
Now with the vortech 522 RWHP 472 T
Street Tires (spinning all the way down the track)

Still do not know how to get it down the track with the SC as you can seen by my times however, prior to the SC I was able to get virtually no wheel spin and a 1.9 60foot.

3200-3400 stall converter and 275/40/17 Mickey Thompson drag radials should get you into the 11's easily.

What dont you understand? You got 500+ hp and wondering why the runflats cant handle it? Its simple-they can barely handle 375 rwhp. You need to get yourself some 17" or 18" Drag Radials/Wheels and then you'll stop spinning down the track and probably pick up another .5 second at the same time

Your car does pull harder from 1/8 to 1/4. I agree with dropping your tire psi but the burnout should only be slight on a stock run flat tire. A burn out on these will heat them up but it will make the slick as hell too (ask me how I know). A good set of d/r's a tune and some headers will have you kicking some serious butt.
as I have gone down the track sideways too. Then again cold tires also do the same thing once you shift second so you have the choice of sideways off the light or sideways shifting to second. (the A4 hits the tires harder at the shifts than the A6.....as Marc and I found out one cool day )The quicker guys would let me heat up the track for hem and watch to see which wall I could hit ...... now hat I have smartened up a bit I wait until they lay some rubber down and then chew it up...... I have consistently run 12.40s with only a CAI and the stock run craps!
Drag radials will do the trick

He will also pick up a ton in the trap speed. I have a bolt on LS2 (385 rwhp) that traps 120 mph in the 1/4 mile at 12.02 sec. Short time on Supercar RFs is 2.0. He is not getting the power to the ground - there has to be a lot more in the 1/4 mile time and mph department for this guy. Do the Spinmonster Mod - I am in the process of doing the same.
This ought to be good.

Yes, I know he was not getting power to the ground and that is why I recommended DR's (Drag Radials) for the track...an age old proven solution. So what, pray tell, is the "Spinmonter mod" which apparently you claim as "the do all solution" for traction. This ought to be good.
This ought to be good. hey why fool around I want the Dennis50NJ Mod

What was your 1/8 time. I did 7.63 at 93 in the quarter with a 5-6 pound boost procharger, kooks, stock 3.15's, a4 and run flats. At the time rated 489 RHWP. Some runs I got traction, some I didn't. But I ran with track control on, when I took it off I would hit the rev limiter. Also started in drive, foot braked and played with flooring it and sometimes half way on the gas until green and then mashing. Also, if I tried to shift the automatic, I usually hit the rev limiter also. Just my two cents.

Though some of them can be quite infamous too, like that "Fast w/Goop" mod.
Siffert wants to be known for the "Have Negative Da, Will Travel" mod.

Where can you get 3 tenths, take a scenic trip, meet a bunch of great gear heads and have a great time for about $ 500.00

Car never bogged. A friend watching said I spun from the start. It still felt good but with DR's, I really think it will go faster but at what cost to my stock rear?

Siffert - to make it easy for you to understand, I'll use a formula:
wider wheels + wider, bigger side wall, r compound tires = more traction than the stock run flats. Do you have a different opinion?
Siffert should be the "S" stirrer. I find most of his posts worthy of printing on Cottonelle..............

Spin named it, I didn't. I refer to it by "name" so that if the OP wants to search for the thread, he'll find it.

The only downside is that it costs that much every time you do it. The cost to be permanent is much greater.
