Gears, LCA/relocation brackets, and Subframe connectors.

By Home Depot intake kit are you taking about the Fernco coupler?
What about these: EWP, Throttle body By-pass kit, 1.6rr, Gears would be a nice change as well if you've got a A4.

Wish i had a quick pic of it but, it has the 1le elbow and the stock crappy plastic piece after that and then a 45 degree pvc down to a K&n filter cone.

It has TB bypass on. Yeah its an A4 with 2.73 gears.

Oh man I would def do some 3.73 gears! They really wake the A4 up and especially since you've got 2.73. It's almost like going from stock manifolds to LT's...that's how I like to compare the difference in change/performance at least

Like Trav said too, 1.6 rr's would be nice as well

Yeah my friend has a 94 Z A4 with Moroso CAI and 3.73 with a shift kit and he leaves me like nothing.

What springs would i need for the 1.6rr's and pushrods?

Oh I don't doubt it. It's a night and day difference. Even the 3.42 ratio would be a nice change. I would only go that route if I did major HWY/Frwy driving.

Spring wise,,probably some Crane DBL valve springs or some Pac's. Some Trickflow or Smith Bro's pushrods as well.

Best bang for the buck would be the gears though.

Would i need stock length pushrods? And is there a link to what springs and retainers i would need, not sure on what to look for. Thanks

Also what size rockers do i need the 3/8 or 7/16?

Stock and stock-length pushrods would be fine if you reuse your lifters. In case you upgrade the LS7s, you should measure for proper valvetrain geometry. You can use LT4 springs/hardware for a 1.6 rocker swap.

Stock rocker studs are 3/8". You can replace them with 7/16" studs if you'd like. Self-aligning rockers would be fine.

im using stock springs with my rockers with no problem. plus if you can pick up a m6 rear end you could just swap the hole rear end. i only paid 150 for my rear end and i love my 3.42 gears. ive pulled 1.6's 60ft with my 3.42s

Most people will say you're pushing it with the stock springs. For the relatively low cost of the LT4 springs/hardware, it's best to upgrade.
