12 Second Club - 13.5 stock to a 12.2. Happy!

When i picked up my 2000 A4 z28 a few months ago it ran a 13.59 BONE STOCK. I have added the mods in my sig and netted a 12.25 tonight. Im really happy.

1.65 60ft
7.77 @ 87 1/8
12.25 @ 109.68 1/4

My other passes were slower just due to 60ft dropping, I aired my et streets down after the 12.2 pass to 15lbs of air and spun a little more so 17lbs maybe the sweet spot. But all the passes were coming right off idle and flashed the converter the whole 4000 rpms. Was going to try to build it up to around 2600 and flash the rest but rain come in to early. temp was 68 degrees and little humid. maybe witha cut out and little more tuning (1-2 shift is at 5200) Might see some 11's with just bolt ons!!!!

Good run! I hopin for 12's next year.... my tires are holding me back:(

Headers and a good converter make a hell of a difference.My 02 SS ran 13.36 stock and w/ a Yank SS3600 and the same headers and y-pipe as you w/ stock cat back & rims w/ nitto's i ran 12.38 @ 109.55 -1.74 60ft in 88 degree Florida heat.I am getting some Weld Pro Stars and taking out the front sway bar and in cooler temp's i should be in the high 11's.

what rearend gear?

gears are stock 3.23's. Going to do a little more tuning and more practice with the converter, probably add a cutout and hope for 11's!!

none other than spare tire and jack removed plus im 310lbs. Diet time! good thing new years resolutions can be made!

Very nice man. There is a guy with a similar set up as you but he has an M6. With a healthy bit of de weighting and a 75 shot he ran a 10.9

I always got my best times with the Yank SS3600 by holding the revs up to about 1800rpms when I had 3.73 gears. (2300 with 3.50 gears)

Best was a 11.93 with bolt ons untuned.

I wouldn't be surprised if you got there just by working on your launch. Maybe you should ditch that Flowmaster ;)

Edit: I just noticed you had 3.23 gears, I agree with you on trying around ~2600 rpm launch.

Good luck

Yeah im going to get a cut out and play with the converter, to find its sweet spot. Then my tuner is going to fine tune it, the 1-2 shift was a little early 5200 rpms.

holy crap nice times!

very impressive my friend, i wish i would've got a time on my car before i put the cam in, just finished it up and started it about an hour ago actually lol. too late now. congrats tho!

Congrats I wish mine had 323s also but mine has 273s. This winter AM doing 373s,M/T Drag Radials,160 thermostat,tune.
