you could do a heads and emission friendly cam with some shorty headers. There was an article in GMHTP magazine few months back on this. The car had to pass emissions in all states. It's possible with the correct setup. Might want to ask around with the vendors on the right>>>>btw 120 on the motor is not real high but just be careful before you drop all that money in it. good luck!

So there are smogable heads and cams but is that the best thing to start with or should I go another route first im looking to make maybe 400-450 what should I do to reach those #s and thanks for the reply

KevinR

Stall. That should be the first mod for any A4 IMO.

Fmunguia

Ok so whts the difference in a stall and the torque converter I hear get a stall kit then get a better torque converter

KevinR

It's the same thing.

Fmunguia

Oh ok I was confused for a sec on Tht one ok so stall, heads, cam, then maybe ls6 intake?

can't help you there i'm in a m6. You could always do suspension/rear end etc to handle all the future power you wannna make.

TSP 220R cam and AFR 205 heads should pass emissions.

Im ordering SFC but I hear rearend gears dont help out much on an auto but I am looking into suspension any thoughts on suspension or more possible combos

KevinR

Stall first. I would do the exhaust (headers/duals) before you start looking into doing the heads and cam. Start simple. Full bolt ons, then start looking into heads and a cam.

Fmunguia

What kind of power or result should I c from Tht set up

Fmunguia

Makes sence wht is a good choice on headers and r they hard to but on

KevinR

I run pacesetters and really like them. Cheap, and do the trick. You are going to have some issues with any exhaust that you put on since you live in Cali. If you've never installed headers on one of these cars, then I would suggest that you pay someone to do it.

Fmunguia

Yea I think Thts beat cuz it doesn't look like there's alot of run to play in wht bout cutouts wouldn't Tht emlimante the need for exhaust after the headers?

KevinR

What?

Fmunguia

Mybad my phone auto typed Tht lol I said I think it is best Tht I do have someone install them rather then me but after headers wht do I get cat back? Or can I just get cutouts instead
