So I have been thinking of what to do next and can't make up my mind. I want to save money so I will probably end up buying parts used, except if I was to go with a 6le front end, it would obviously be new.

Anyways, I am wondering what is next after bolt-ons, Car is an a4 so to answer that question and no it is not stalled. If I was to buy a used stall, what should I look for? Not looking to spend past 1400$, which could have next month.

Question: what is a good suspension setup for dd fbodys, looking to get some good performance from, it is ttop. What is a good height drop, for ride height, without being to low and looks good? it is sitting on 17 SS rims.

I am going back and forward between exterior mods, suspesion and brakes, a little bit of everything or just saving.

Here is list of what I am looking at.
eventually would like to do le2 heads and cam or possibly know if found good deal on used ones. But I figured maybe I should take care of supporting mods.

Panhard
LCAs
Springs and shocks
SFC
1.6rr
cc306 cam
ls7 lifters
pushrods
tint
ss hood and wing
mcnord front end
tsp catback (b.c i have straight pipes)
le2 heads and cam
tq converter (yank or vig)
HID
paint rims black( in order to save money possibly, anyone paint there own rims here?)
I am pretty sure, I will get brakemotive front and rear drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads
Topdash
n20

Any input or help or make your own combo of this stuff. Thanks
I also will have to spend 150$ on madtuner

Ive got a 4400 vig converter for sale. Pm if interested. Also i wouldnt get a panhard bar unless lowered. After boltons no2 would be the best bang for the buck

I just installed a 3600 revmax in a ls1 ta and i was really impressed on how it drove with light throttle.

For good bang for buck and great driving experience a stall really is the best choice.... my .02

Next, add a little to a lot of spray... lol

4400 stall a bit to high. if i get that next it would be between 3200-3600

ported and polished intake manifold, 58mm TB, stronger fuel pump(?) , injectors

Done with bolt-ons, time for a trans upgrade if you're an a4. Hate to say it, but 4l60e's are crap above bolt-on levels unless they are built

bizerk1

I really want to do t-56 swap but any1that has one sell them for a million dollars, ha. I have ported intake mani, bigger tb, custom spark plug wires that have the protection around them so they dont burn from headers, I have poly trans and engine mounts. Engine was just put in a little over a month ago, has around 75k on it ( including trans) it was from bbody.

fuel pump and injectors are stock

Are you serious?

Guys have made over 400rwhp through untouched stock intakes, since the intake is not worth bothering with now that makes the 58mm TB a questionable idea for right now. but he later said he already bought into that idea A stronger fuel pump is not needed till at least heads/cam and neither are injectors.

Then you suggest $2000+ mod for tuning when the LT1 stuff can be had for $250.

Are you trying to **** with this guy?

IMO suspension is a good idea. Stall would be a good idea if he were staying A4

REALLY!? over 400rwhp!!! NOOOO WAY!!! calm down there gunner, OP was looking for suggestions. but what do i know, i have a stock lt1 and have never been on this web forum, have never made one post or learned anything about lt1's. maybe next time i'll make OEM suggesting other then the asked aftermarket ones

bizerk1

anymore suggestions. I really want more power, but heads and cam will prob have to wait. suspension I may do , but i should mention front bumper a bit beat up, so was thinking about 6le bumper and ss hood, b.c hood has spider webbing

another reason to wait on intake porting is have it done to match the heads.

bizerk1

I have ported intake manifold and bigger tb, there already done.

Hands down if your looking for performance but not open up the motor you must do stall and gears. Not only is something that your going to need when adding heads/cam it definetly wakes up the car. Going from 2.73-3.42 was a big gain in itself but the built tranny we did last year on it with a stall was a night and day difference and actually makes it enjoyable to drive since im more of a 6spd guy and hated it before and thought it was "lazy". Once you add the stall your going to want to look into suspension to keep it hooked up.

I want a 6spd badly, but they are to costly. I have an 02 SS rearend, so what are the gears 3.23 or 3.43?
