1/4 track
I want to make my car run high 11s. At the 1/8 i ran 8.5 which i dont think is even in the 12s.
I have a Z51 A4 2005 what should I add to make it to the 11s.
I have Vararam and Borla catback ATM no tune.
This is a DD car so it needs to have a stock feel somewhat.

I have a 2005 A4 with 3.15 gears..... Not so fast I have a time slip that was 8.552 in the eight mile and I ran a 12.897. The 1/8 mile calculator does not account for the torque management kicking in. With your mods the car should run at least 12.60s in the heat (what I ran in 80 degree heat with a CAI and no other mods).
With the stock tires run 25 pounds and do a good burnout. Leave from an idle (only taking up the slack in the converter) If you run in good air with a set of drag radials and a tune the car is capable of runing 12.10 -12.20.

Actually the 2800 torque converter and drag radials really made a difference 12.40 became 11.83 on new tires and not quite dialed in yet
