Talking New best with the midwest 'verter

Went to the track saturday and hit a new best of 12.605 with a 1.71 60ft. Needless to say I love it considering I don't have any major mods besides the converter. Man it sucks winter is coming and the racing seasons about over

It was on nitto's
The previous best was a 12.96 in cold weather but the average times were in the 13.1's Now I average 12.6's-7's
My best 60 with the stock converter was 1.96 but most were in the 2.0 range. I did lose about 1mph but that was in colder weather so I'd guess I did'nt lose anything mph wise.

So you went from a 1.96 60ft 12.96 ET @ 108 to a 1.71 60ft 12.6 ET @ 107.1. Thats about average, not to bad. If you went to the track this past Saturday isn't that cold? I was certainly cold around here, upper 40's. I really hate to lose any mph just because our A4's are do down on power and speed to M6's. We need all we can get and keep all that we have. Still looking for a converter that will increase speed and be good, not great, out of the hole. SY3500 looks the best so far although I'd like the STR to be up a little more than 1.6.
