Default Next mod to break below 13.5

Besides working on my R\T (which, i am in the process of doing.)
Should i go with suspension work? (82k on the stock stuff)
What should i go for, to help at least a LITTLE on my times, but not sacrifice TOO much drivability. (the ws6 already is rough as hell =))
Next up is a Cam as far as motor work goes (after a fuel pump. stocker is starting to die (so sayth the dyno dude).
I want to get as low down as i can before i throw a cam (and possibly a full top end rebuild...might as well while the top is off!).

Thanks guys

Converter and sticky tires should do it no problem.

With the automatic transmission, I would go with rear gears (3.73 to 4.10's). It will probably help you work wonders, much more simple than a converter install, but the sticky tires are a good idea.

I was running 13.54 on my 02 A4 with 2:73's, lid, catback and predator tune.
Added 3:42 gears- ran 13.15 best with normal 13.20's.
Added a yank stealth stall- no traction now on street tires
Just added Nitto 555R's, so will see new times soon.
LT headers going in in week or so.
R/T time doesn't matter unless you are racing for points in a ET race, your times will be the same with or without a good R/T.

13.41 here with 2.73's on Good Year GS-C's. My stuff had 116,000+ miles on it at the time.

My set-up is similar to yours....SLP LT's, ORY, Dynomouth, SLP CAD, Smooth Bellows, Air lid....

Just installed 3.73's....hoping for a dry Tuesday night to test it at the streel legals.
