I have an 02 z its got all the free mods done, ported and polished tb, mac catback and in a few weeks will have bbk lt's and offroad y however it wont be tuned for a while as I have other mods in mind. Car has 100k on it but was lady driven all its life and runs like new tires are new and hook pretty decent on the street. With the above mods, a good hook, and the stock 2.73's does anyone think high 12's are a good shot. Its at sea level in florida btw.

I went from running 13.4s at 104 with a 2.0 60 stock to snagging a string of 12.9s at 106 with nothing but my Pacesetters and a 1.9 60ft. It's possible and done routinely around here. Really, just get a decent 60ft and you should be able to dip into the 12s. Mine's untuned and has run pig rich since I stuck headers on it.

I think its very possible. Im in the "trying for 12's" boat! lol I ran the time in my sig with bald 245's and 2.73's. I think with tires I could be 12's.....

It runs smooth, just very very rich. Judging by my trap, I think it's got more left in it with a tune, but I can't justify spending the money to dynotune my stock engine.
I'm only getting 106. Plenty of people exceed that stock.

with 4l60e's and stock gears?
the t56s may trap higher stock than 106, but not very often will a bone stock a4 run higher than 106.
