What do you guys think.

2002 WS6 A4

SLP Flowpac (Lid, CAI, K&N Filter, Smooth Bellow)
QTP Longtube headers w/ Catted Y pipe
GMMG Catback
NGK TR55 w/ Taylor Spiro Proseries 8mm wires
Tire: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 275/40/17

Weight Reduction- Spare and Jack, Slotted and Crossdrilled Rotors, Floormats, any junk and maybe a couple other small things couple more pounds

Weight Addition- Viper Alarm system and K40 radar detector (basically nothing lol)

I am hoping to cut sub 2.0 60ft times, hopefully a couple 1.8's or even a 1.7 *US-41 has been called Hookville in the Midwest for some time* I believe i can get the car to run 12.6's w/ good enough traction stalling up to about 1500. a friend of mine says I'll get 13.4's if I'm lucky he's got a 98 WS6 M6 w/ my old Loudmouth. I know he's full of it cuz my car ran 13.2 bone stock. And I've run a best of 12.85@107.6 mph but it was cooler and dryer weather on my old setup. Stock tires and SLP Loudmouth w/ their Large Diiameter Y pipe to fit the stock headers, instead of LT's and GMMG.

What do you guys think? Are the headers and tires enough to net me 12.6's?

I am going to guess no. My guess will be 12.9 - 13 flat. One thing thats really killing you is that stock convertor. Get yourself a nice 3200-3600 stall and you'll shave almost half a second off your time.

:stupid2:
Without a stall or drag radials, I'm guessing high 12's at best.

I only got to go a few times. I had bearing failure in my stock 10 bolt on the way home from Florida last year. After that I didn't want to thrash on it, and chance having to putting more money into that junk rearend. I have a 12 bolt now and by next spring I'll have two of my spare wheels loaded with some drag radials, Clutch Masters FM300 clutch, and a PST driveshaft. Going to the track is a blast but the track I go to I just can't get traction with street tires. I remember the first time I was so pumped I dumped it about 2k and then matted it and just fried the tires through 1st and 2nd had like a shitty 2.6 60' and ran a 14.5, in two more passes I got a 13.47 out of it but I calmed down a little and didn't floor it until the tires bit. I still could only get my 60' down to a 2.2 with the stock Goodyears.
:drive:
