Default trap speeds seem a little low

typically you trap better with higher 60 ft times too. Have logged everything like timing, CF, MAF and 02 voltage?

Default You should enter a bracket race with consistent times like those. Is 4th gear necessary?

I've never taken my A4 to a 1/4 strip, so I don't know how far you can take 3rd gear. I know the top speeds are listed somewhere for each gear on these cars. It's too early and I'm too lazy

Default I forget about you .5 types :)

I think you were. I see a post in your registration thread that says you were fully registered .. back on April 15th. Try logging in using the original user name/pword combo you 'registered with'.

Default Actually, now I recall the time I dropped it into 3rd on the highway at 85MPH...

you definitely need 4th gear

Default If he puts in a 2.8 trans he can take 3rd gear to 100 mph with a 7100 rpm limiter.

I have the 2.8 gear box and can hit 115 mph with my 7800 rpms limiter, which was a 15 mph gain over the 1.8 trans with the same rpm limiter.

You can save a nice chunk of time in the 1/4 by not making that 3 to 4 shift

Default around .2-.3 seconds.

a little more if your still in your powerband near your rev limiter.

I wish I had a power band that high. I think by 6500, my power is gone
