I got a 95 a4 camaro, has been rebuilt with srp forged pistons, edelbrock cam with 522 lift, heads redone, fastchip done to the computer, lt4 intake, 52 mm tb, msd dist, msd wires, lt headers, 3" exhaust, egr delete, cai. As of now this car this car is a daily driver, but after I put 373 gears in it, what should I do next?

No suspension work? LCA and relcation brackets will help you hook off the line, not sure what your looking to do with the car

Want the car to run in the 11's. You don't think a 3200 stall is to much? I put a 3600 on and that seemed way to much. I was thinking about maybe 2800. Yes suspension work is in need of replacement, but I was gonna wait till later on that.

3600 or bigger. If u get a quality stall like from yank, vig, or edge it will drive great. I had a 3800 when my car was bolton only. I went 12.3s and drove great. I wished i woukd have went bigger

I was gonna do, 373 gears, a lil bigger stall, and I know a guy who has a supercharger for $900. Then get my computer re-tuned at fastchip.

Just based on info i have read on the forums 3200-3600 range of a quality stall is still perfectly suitable in a daily driver. I don't have an auto let alone a stalled auto so i don't have any personal experience with it though. H/C cars with supporting mods a good stall and sticky tires break 11s.

Yeah a 12 bolt or 9" will be required sooner rather than later with that combination. Hell sticky tires is all it takes to break some... I'm suprised no one has said NAWSSS.

Op figure in $2000 for a used 12 bolt or 9" no matter what you do if you're going to bring it to the track with what i suggested.

Oh I already got drag radials. From what you all are saying May be in the high 11's. And Id rather have a supercharger than nitrous. As far as the stall, I'll look more into it.

If you hook and don't break anything you will be in the 11's. I would pick up a rear end before you worry about the costs of a supercharger. You'll have way more than enough power to break your rear without it.

First thing you need to do is stop buying junk. Half you mod list reads like a list of "what NOT to do".

Are you willing to throw away half what you have?

The cam, tuning, heads, intake manifold, and the low compression for starters, all would need to be replaced for an optimized setup.
