Default What do you all think this setup would run?

98 A4 Coupe

3.42 gears
3200 stall
Vararam Intake
LS6 Intake Manifold
Kooks Long tube 1-7/8 headers
cat delete
Z06 ti exhaust
mild to moderate cam
upgraded valve springs


also, what do you think the above would do with a 125 shot on top of everything?

I'm hoping to get low mid 11's off the bottle and maybe mid 10s on the spray. Think this is realistic?

I'd say 11.2-11.3 NA.

11.6 to 11.8 NA on street tires; high 10s on spray maybe.

Default Lots To Consider !!!

Mike on your post there are a few other things you must consider into the #'s . Track location and elevation. Weather and humidity, and track temp/air temp.
I'm running pretty close to your same basic set-up but with Z-06- 243 heads and cam. On drag radials , in good air and temp. I can run 11.98 @ 114 mph Still have to work a bit more on better 60 ft times I think 1.70 60' , but still with slight tire spin and room to improve.
Track prep and conditions will play a big role on if you can let out a great 60 ft time. But its great trying , Take Care and good luck

Update: just ordered a 3600 yank. looking for the gears right now. Would mid-low 11's be unrealistic?

Plus what tires ? Air pressure ?? Launch RPM ? What is your RWHP\TQ ?? How much cam ? Open headers or closed exhaust ?
