Default LS3 A6 Performance

What kind of ETs in the 1/4 mi are LS3s with A6 trannys putting down?
Interested in bolt on, cam only and heads and cam cars. What gears and converter are you running?

I was running 12.26-12.31 with the Z51 suspension option and 305-45-18 DRs.
With the 418 LS3, 3600 Stall Converter, long tube headers, 305-45-18 DRs and the factory rear, I am running 10.90.

MY 08 A6 with bolt on's...Tuned by HorsePower in Pompano Florida. 3:15 gears and a 2800 Torque converter runs 11.2's @121mph. No cam!...No meth!...No custom cam and stock heads. With a little better DA it should be in the 11:1's. Haven't been to the track in months..I'm ready to go back.

In response to your question about the 3:15 gears! This is my daily driver with 35000 miles. I just changed converter from Vigalante 2800 to Yank 3600. Will be at the track tonight. I loved the 3:15 gears with the 2800. Want to get it re-tuned but haven't made the time. Looking for some better 60"s. Hoping for some cooler weather but it doesnt seem like that will happen until fall.

Your car is very impressive. Did you notice any difference in street manners between the Vig 2800 & the SS3600. Please let us know how you make out at the track.
