what would a 1+ run in a 1/4 mile

[OneBadAudi]

I was just curious, because i went last night the launches were eating me alive. I got a good launch at 4 grand but the clutch didnt hold and slipped like soab.

So what are u 1+ guys runin?

[A4 TSCHUSS]

low 15s

[Papachristou]

get a southbend fe ss, i walked a brand new CTS last night, 6k dump, holds like bear trap...

[OneBadAudi]

see man, i knew it wasnt me..well kinda was because the launches were rough and that stock clutch didnt hold for Shiat...the best i had was a 15.9 n the clutch slipped through first gear...Bad night at the track..pretty sure a school bus could of beat me...

[gotboost]

I raced my buddys Integra GSR, on the highway.... 40-100 pull, he couldnt keep up. He ran a 15.4 at like 91mph 1/4 mile

huh that clutch is for a car making over 300 wheel horsepower. Way to much clutch for a 1+

O yeh when im on the street its a different story, but becuase of the clutch slippin, it would not launch and if it did, SLIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.....so i am looking for another clutch that will def hold..
I saw those vast performance clutches but im pretty sure they are only for an S4

LOL, no such thing as having too much clutch only too little.


He could get away with a SB stage 3 with the iron disk if he plans on using the stock flywheel.

[akaEsCo01]

He's planning on going BT that's why he got it and I agree with Mike, no such thing as too much clutch

[b6onboost]

A full 1+ setup will get you high 14s to low 15s in the 1/4.

And i was thinking to race a 07 TLS stock with Stage 1+ 100oct

i had a 95 neon sohc 5spd that ran a 15.9.

[chadb2434]

lol..

my 1+ fwd 5spd ran a 9.6 1/8th mile

should be a high 14 1/4

[gray6spd]

And i was thinking to race a 07 TLS stock with Stage 1+ 100oct

Idk if that is gonna be pretty. TL type S is pretty fast. Esp if its the 6spd. I think its got a J35 in it with close to like 270 horses. But with 1+, you may kill em with the torque

And if you're at altitude like me, turbo vs. n/a is always a plus.

[OneBadAudi]

Damn, i started this thread last July, did not expect it to pop back up. ha

[doublezero30]

not to thread jack, but what RPM should you typically launch at for our cars? i always thought 3500ish since thats about when the turbo starts spooling.

[festerfm]

i'm also going to thread jack since we are on the topic of launching.. my 03 has 117k on the odo and just got the fmic and stg 3 clutch done. i'm a bit nervous about actually launching it since it's awd. i had a brand new subaru baja, i was the first owner, and after about 4-5 3500k launches, the rear dif went.. i'm affraid to break something on the audi by launching it like that.. i've launched it in dirt without any issues but all it did was spin.. how well do the axles/dif's hold up?

[Papachristou]

suby trannies are made of glass! ive done lots of launches without any trouble.... 90k on the clock.

[O2VW1.8T]

5000rpm+ on launch's, ride the clutch out a little and it should cut some good 60' times

this is a way old repost, but you might not have seen it before.

Riding the clutch is for FWD and RWD cars. The trick with launching an AWD ar is to let the tires spin a little instead of the clutch.

says the man with the 630awhp A4......

i'm mostly stock and have to slip the clutch or it bogs down, no wheel spin here!

But I have been drag racing my A4 for 8+ years, starting drag racing it with a chipped K03. You can increase wheel spin by increasing the tire pressure to 45psi. My k03 record time still stands and its been 8 years. If you look at the B6 ET list posted up above, out of the 5 top cars I was the driver of 3 of them. That was in cars I didn't own and never drove on the street.

[Papachristou]

mike is right. i smoked my stock clutch on a launch where it bogged. now i find it best to give it a few blips and launch around 6k to get it to spin just a little. (of course i can barely spin them anyway lol!) with quattro it just spins for a sec and throws the car forward

[texasboy21]

When i launch i just blipp the gas a few times to spool up, floor it and around 4-5k rpms (about full boost) let the clutch out. It seems to get me off the line pretty quick

15.20 with a passenger and a little stock clutch slip @ 4K rpm... no spare tire...with all mods listed bellow... I really want a good clutch!

I've done it both ways, I said ride it out a little. If you ride it too much it will burn the clutch. I've cut plenty 1.5 60' times on almost bald STREET tires. Yes i know it was in my GTi, Dumping it works also but not as consistent. Everybody has there way of doing it.. I say just go to the track and pratice thats the best thing to do.

But we are talking AWD cars here and you dont want to ride the clutch because thats what you do to control wheel spin on a fwd/rwd car, but you want wheel spin on a AWD turbo car.

Odd that you can pull 1.5's on bald street tires on a FWD car but yet most of the world has problems getting blow 2.0 and even with DR's have problems getting anywhere near 1.5's. Now show me some 1.5's with a AWD car and we can talk launching awd/turbo cars.

My Gti is AWD, mike i understand the wheel spin. Your car has 630whp its going to spin(since you just have drag radials) Whats your best 60' anyways.. My GTI was around 500whp and if i rode the clutch a little i would not get wheel spin at times and it but low 1.5's. If it spun it was always a 1.6.. On stock turbo i just dumped it at 6000rpm and it hooked usally cut 1.6's..

I keep forgetting your GTI is AWD. You might as well call it a GTI-Q. LOL


My best is 1.544 in my car. My best 1/8th(6.8) and 1/4 mile(10.55) had a 1.576 for the 60 ft. I have pulled 1.6's with B6's that make half the power my car makes and those were all on street tires.

The less you have to think about while launching an AWD/turbo car the better. Just drop the throttle and dump the clutch, car goes.

I agree dude i usally dump it, man my stock clutch sucks on the B6. Tried to dump it and all it did was smoke the clutch... Planning on running 9's this year.

Is the B6 quattro or did you leave it RWD?

What size wheels/tires do you run on the GTI? I will be testing some new drag radials in 225/45/17 soon, they should give me way more traction then my BFG's. Hopefully that should help me get down into the low 10's.

Its AWD finally, On the gti i ran some toyo proxe's 195/65/15 lol... gti is gone now and im going to try and make the B6 a solid 11 sec car next year. Have you looked into motorcycle slicks, some of the evo guys are cutting 1.3 60' time, since you have standalone you can get the 2 step to work and build some boost.

I cant run slicks since I run in a street tire class. Since no one really makes any good DR's for 17's I was trying to figure out what tire to run. I ended up talking a hooser rep at the track on saturday and told him about my tire issue and turns out he was willing to look into having Hoosier make DR's in 225/45/17's using their road racing molds in that size. I am just glad I dont have to buy 16" wheels now just to run some good DR's.

You went 15.2 w all those mods and i went 15.27 with a diode and mbc lol

lol. no - no killing of the TLS at all... it's going to eat the a4 alive, no questions asked.

6k+ all the time everytime.

you should run those 14lb 15" Mercedes wheels that Marc ran back in the day. could be interesting eh?

just thinking out loud here

if they clear his brakes (i don't know what mike is running... stock would be fine i'm sure, but nothing else will fit). that's hte problem i'm having -- im going to b5s4 brakes... so i have to run 17+ now

ahhh i get it, lol must be thats why my ole lady spun the damn wheels on my 3.0 b6.. just picked it up that day, 6 spd, i let her try to drive it because of how easy the clutch was.. she takes off from a light and chirpped the tires!! im like that cant be good..
