More Mod Ideas...what you think? I recently have found out that Suspension takes a BIGG part in your 1/4 mile performance
so i was looking at...the following
BMR or SLP Sub-frame Connectors? (boxed or tubular...weld or bolt on?)
BMR Shock Tower Brace
BMR Torque Arm
BMR LCA (Boxed or tubular?)
BMR Adj. Panhard Rod
with
TT II's
eventually geting a TCI SSF 3500 or Vig 3200 stall torque converter
and that should be it...im hoping the stock ride height will look good with the TT II's

will help, 400whp and a great big stall ?4000-4400? and slicks should get you to that point. those verters you selected are probably too small for low 11's unless you are gonna spray or something.
the SE on the ssf3500 is a little low for the powerband you're gonna run to get low 11's i believe.

from the list you made I would say SFCs for sure and I wouldnt worry about the other stuff as much. If you want 1/4 mile performance you DEFINANTELY want some good adjustable front shocks. Do some searches on HAL or QA1 shocks. I run these on my car in the front with the springs, the springs DO NOT change the ride height unless you adjust them someway. You will want some headers, and yes a converter is a must have mod for an A4. What tires are you planning on running on at the track?

im kinda looking right now....for....11.7-11.9 on Nitto 555R DR's and if i cant get that with Nittos ill try Slicks
thats basically a full second gain from what i already have run which was 12.85@107mph on Nitto 555R's with 30% tread loss i cant remember the 60' time...i didnt dyno my car but the guy who sold me it previously had...with the mods i have RIGHT NOW....it had 354 rwhp/361 ft lbs of torque....how would the ideas i had up top....look at the track with my numbers now

cam and bigger verter, lca, phr, and slicks should do it. i have no doubt i can run 11.7's on slicks but im not in the mood to swap tires. so i'll give it a shot tomorrow with nitto's and see whats up.
you gotta get a good tune too. really want to pick a verter after you pick a power package so your shift extension and stall keep give you max effort torque off the line without smoking nitto's to death and then shift extension to keep you in max peak whp.
right now im dropping back to 4600 on each shift at 6100 which is kinda too low since my cam makes its beef just starting near 6000.
