1st time results
2002 z06
1. arh 1 7/8" headers with 3" ORX
2. vararam cai with vararam powerduct
3. dyno tune
4. nitto nto5 tires at 25 psi
last friday i made my first four passes down the strip in my car. It was at beech bend raceway in bowling green ky. One of the other racers said the DA was at 3000' and the temps were in the high 80s. The track prep was not great and i was having a lot of traction issues in 1st and 2nd gear. I really need a lot of practice on my launch tech plus some good tires.
60' - 2.152
330' - 5.625
1/8 - 8.394
mph - 90.42
1000 - 10.733
1/4 - 12.712
mph - 112.54

I have a 2005 Automatic (A4) with a Vararam and a Tune also.. I use Micky Thompson Drag Radials.. and my times last week were almost the same as yours.. 12.45 @ 112 mph...
The only difference I see is the 60' time I'm doing it in 1.905 and thats where I'm getting better ET than you..
Usually an Automatic will 60' better than a stick... but for sure you need a set of "GOOD" drag radials.... BFG or MT I think you will see better 60' and better ET...
I doubt you MPH will get much better, unless you can race in better air like 1000'
I have run a best of 12.08 @ 115 mph but that was in very cool air (45 deg) -800'
