Default Damn 3.73 s Love and hate em!

:banFrom dig I can kill 3/4 of the cars out there or from a 20 or 30 roll also. But every since I changed out the gears and it killed my top speed it is only 127 or 133 now. And I do have a tune done by Jeff at thunder. But its litterly like I lost 30 something mph off my top end, I did go from 2.73 to 3.73. How can i increase my top speed a little bit. Any input would be nice.

Put your old gears back in, LOL. Thats the nature of the beast. You go up in gear ratio you lose top end but you get there quicker. Thats just how it works.

Well DAMN! I was think maybe a fully built set of heads or something like that. I was just asking bc on the highway runs I suck and I dont want some ricer thinking he can keep up with an ls1 just bc his top speed matchs mine. Yes it is an a4. Maybe if I had another gear it would be better LOL!
