Don't be so proud, I didn't spend any extra to get there.
Maybe if I weren't so lazy i'd get some drag radials and get into the 12s. What's that cost, 400 bucks? What'd you spend to get a *snicker* 13.5?
You aren't driving a Supra TT so don't kid yourself. You'll never compete in the hp wars with an Audi A4, it just can't be done.

Lets see, I would say less then $2500.
But my car should be running mid-high 12's with stock tires. Oh BTW my 60 ft was 2.1 when I did the 13.5 at 106.60 mph and kick a lightnings *** doing it and he had slicks. My normal 60 ft times were .3 faster then that one but I had bad compression. Why dont you go look for the A4 that just did a 10 second run in Europe. I also guess if you plan on running slicks you better change your gears while your at it if you have not done that yet.

I don't understand what you mean about changing gears. The most I would go with is a 3.73 on the stock rear end. Going to a 4.10 would not be smart with any sort of real sticky tire. Unless I get a 12-bolt or a Ford 9" that can take the abuse. I have trouble believing you "beat" a Lightning running a 13.5. That's a lame time. There are several Lightnings I know of that have run a 12.662 and a 12.617 at around 104 - 108 mph with the basic mods people do to them.
Maybe i'll spend 2500 on my car and run 11s. I believe you spent more than that though. Bad compression? I'll roll my eyes to that...

Nope did not spend more then that. Roll your eyes to this. I had my compression checked and stock is around 180-190 lbs. I got 130, 120, 162 and 145. these numbers are even with the rings wet. I now lost cylinders #2 and #4 and cant drive the car since the CEL blinks and throws multi misfire codes for those cylinders.

They were taking the head off today. We have the new rings and a new head gasket for the car already
Just want to make sure there is not anymore damage then just the rings. I should know more about the car either tonight or tomorrow.
