What mods to do for 2018+

[howlins550]

e-85 worth it! I did very high 11.90 dead stock and 11.60's with jlt and corn so three tenths and 3-4 mph... no other mods on stock rubber...…..haven't been back with longtubes andcat delete but traction may be an issue now...I'm gonna work on weight reduction and traction after I get consistent with headers....

I was also debating long tube headers as well. Usually stick with either ARH, Kooks, or SW....The Corsa LTH's look to be best on price, not sure how they compare performance wise. I think this car could use exhaust upgrades before the intake side of things, uncorking the cats and resonator should benefit the car quite a bit.

Corsa LTH and cat deletes are being installed as we speak. I will post about the results.

Mods thus far:
Lund 93 tune
JLT 120mm air box
Corsa Xtreme CB
Steeda suspension

definitely want to see the results you have with the corsa lth's....Seems like E85, full exhaust, and cai has been a proven 500 whp combo.

Too many variables left out (DA, tires, 60ft, etc...) to give this comment relevance.

900 ft DA. Whatever the fuck tires came with it (Michelin or Pirelli) I'll assume 2.xx 60fts. There ya go.

Completely stock with low 1.9 60 footers in ~200ft DA air my 18 A10 was running 12.1X at 118mph. I weight 180Lbs.

BUT HE SEENT IT!! LOL

Thank you for the details. Not sure if you are saying the 60 footers are in the low 2's or high 2's. They heavily impact the ET. Clearly what you saw does not accurately represent the 1/4 mile performance of the 2018 A10's. So why mentioning it? Serious question.

Anyone else think that the 18 6 sp need more gear.

I’m running 4:10’s with mine and their great. One of the best mods I’ve done

Because these guys with there a10 cars went to a track and could only manage 13's. I know guys said they've been 11's bone stock, which frankly I find hard to believe. And those 60 foots were in the 2.3-2.3 range iirc.

 

[WildHorse]

Only mods are tires and suspension.

There ya go.

Drag mode and traction completely off. Hold traction button until it says advance trac off. You’ll see a lot of improvement.

I think to run 11's COMPLETELY stock, it will take the right situation and driver. I'd have to go back and look but I THINK Lund did it and he has the timeslips to show it. But he was in good air. So while high 11's may not be the norm in totally stock config, it is certainly possible and no doubt with traction and a simple tune, 11's are easily attainable. I'm certainly open to correction but this is based on observation and personal experience.

But to imply 18 a10 cars are 13 sec cars because a few hoo ha's at some track couldn't get in the 12's does not make it so any more then saying because a few guys in perfect condition ran 11's makes it an 11 sec car. I believe all the media outlets that have tested them were in the 12's. Most around the 12.6 range I believe. Many regular joe's have run bottom 12's bone stock with timeslips to prove it.

 

[WildHorse]

Go look at all the 14 sec Hellcat vids. Talking the average guy here.

 

[Lonmon]

Launching a 707hp car vs a 460hp car is a bit more challenging to get right on regular street tires but I get it. I just think guys who can't get in the 12's with an 18 a10 are below average in driving ability. I am no professional driver (although I do have a fair amount of experience) but ran a 12.3 @115 on my first pass with my 15 making the same power as a stock 18. Lots of wanna be's and rookies drive fast cars, that I am sure we can agree on!

Not happy...

Crap 100% humidity today but still..

Talking to Lund about logging and seeing where it lands. I feel the car is about at least 20 whp off.

I have not driven it yet though. It's still at the shop.

I am trying to determine if you are suggestion 13's are the typical range for a 2018 A10 or are you saying you just happen to see some run in the 13's. Why is it hard to believe that any (albeit very few) can hit 11's? Me and some others run low 12's at a 200DA track. I can see someone lighter then me running 11.9X at a a track with a lower DA. Am I sensing an agenda?
