  • What next?

    I just got AS&M mid length headers so the exhaust is done
    I also just put in Strange 3.73 and a TA cover with all new hardware
    I've got Morosso CAI, vortech intake elbow and airfoil
    MSD ignition, wires, and NGK plugs
    My question is what can i do now to get alot more power for under $1200


    I want my car to be low 12 sec car but still have nice streetability



    I am planning on doing the LT4 conversion witha bigger cam in the winter so not really any engine work now. I still want to drive it all summer with maybe alittle down time for mods but not to drastic

    Any ideas

    If you're definately going to be doing an LT4 conversion in the winter, I'd do some suspension mods now so you're ready for that extra power. Subframe connectors, lower control arms, torque arm, etc....consider an SLP level 1 suspension package, or something similar. invest in some good tires if you haven't already, or consider rear gears. There's always torque conveter/shift kit if yours is an automatic.

    suspension pieces may not make your car much quicker, and it may not be as fun as adding $1200 worth of go fast parts, but believe me you'll be glad you did, especially once you add that extra LT4 power.

      What are your current ETs?


      Get a Torque Converter, shift kit (TransGo), and trannie cooler!!! I highly recommend Vigilante above all others for the TC, a 9.5" 2800stall should do the trick.

      Then I would get some decent meats (QTPs or ET Streets) on some light weight rims, most use Welds for their first set, unless you want REALLY light weight rims and go with Bogarts. With an A4 you really don't have to worry TOO much about grenading your 10 bolt when using a DOT approved slick.

      Then I would work on the suspension...HAL QA1 shocks/struts and springs, Spohn LCAs, Spohn SFCs etc...to help you HOOK!

      Thats what I would do anyhow...(hey, thats what I did!, sorta LOL)

      You should see those 12's no problem with this setup.
