Default I think Ive maxed out where I am at.

My car is a 01 ws6 a4 with 180,000 miles. Only thing aftermarket is a custom tune, and longtubes and mickey thompson drag radials.

I had my car lowered but finally put factory suspension under it.

went from running a 8.5 in the 1/8th to running 8.32 at 87mph...definatly helped.

My question is I have a ms3 cam. I'm wanting to keep my car able to drive on trips and still be rather streetable but quick.

I already have tnt wet kit on my car jetted for 150...which Im prolly going down to 100 shot.

I wanna get my car running 7.5s to 7.8s in the 1/8th on motor but still be streetable and spray it and get close to low 7's

Will the ms3 bee to much considere I'm gonna need 4k stall at lest.

if it was my opinion, i wouldnt run an ms3 with a dd. some people say you do have to flycut the pistons with it and some people say you dont. with an ms3 and a 4k stall your gas is going to ****, if you fine with that then live your dream haha.

Highway driving wouldn't be an issue with MS3 if that is what you mean by long distance trips.

Yes for instance Birmingham to Atlanta is 3 hours 1 way.

I think I may just do a stall for now and see where that puts me I think I nice 3800 - 4k stall would put me in the 7's
