^ Those tires made a huge difference because I could not hook in my 60ft. I know a lot of people were struggling.
How do you trap so high with stage2? 100 oct? What tranny?

How do you trap so high with stage2? 100 oct? What tranny?

I need to work on my 60ft. If I had better griping tires it will lower my trap but also lower my 1/4 times. My best time is in my sig. You can also find the time slips a few post up or in my build thread.
My car is a beast on top end after I installed the Neuspeed outlet pipes to my APR intercooler. One of my runs this weekend was against a Golf R. He had the jump on me thanks to AWD but I was reeling him towards the end. His facial expression was awesome when he saw me pull up right next to him.
What were your trap speeds before intercooler? You get traction and you will be in 12's.

I never ran before the intercooler. It is a must here in FL. Before I added the Neuspeed pipes I was running 101 mph on 93 octane. After I added the pipes I was running high 104 consistently with my best being a 105.05 mph on 93.
Now that I am running 100 octane I am consistently between 105-107 with my best at 107.76 mph.
My goal is to break into the 12s with an OTS tune before I make my move to K04.
That's awesome I'm sure being near sea level helps too. I'm trying to convince myself stage 2 is enough but ill probably go k04 in the new year.

Ok so Ive been thinking about changing up drag tire and wheel setup.
Rite now with ko3 I finish up the 1/4 mile in 5th gear. And did some talking with angel @ forgemotorsport and he thinks I should drop to a 16" wheel and run a 225/50/16 tire for taller tire which should allow me to finish the 1/4 mile in 4th gear.
Im most likely getting a big break kit also 330 size, so im gonna stick with 17" wheel, but a buddy of mines can hook me up with a new set of nitto nt555r drag radials 245/45/17 which guessing is taller and more meat than my hoosier 225/45/17.
So I love my hoosier and they have done well, cutting a few 1.8 60 foots and mostly 1.9 60'
Now has anyone tried the nitto drags before. Will they suck are they as good as hoosier and what do u guys think about running 245/45/17 on mk6 gti?
Any and all will be appreciated. Thanks!
