oops, i typoed.
I meant to say, I ordered my first performance mods today, b&b bullet catback and halltech stinger intake. They should be here by next week, and Ill have them on the car in about two weeks,(hopefully). I will let everyone know the results. I will take the car to the track this summer. Last summer I pulled 13.33 bone stock with 2004 a4, 3.15 gear. Hoping to get down to 13.0,13.1.

You should have no problem running a 13.1 with your new mods.

: Joe -

Welcome! Hope to see you around some events this summer. We're all waiting to hear about the next "Airport Cruise-In" - which was the highlight of last summer.

As far as the mods - sounds like you're setup like mine. I've got an A4 with 3.15 gear, with B&B PRT exhaust and a Vortex intake. But the few times I was at the track (typically warm days), my best times were around 13.16. Fun times!
