best pure street combo
I'm trying to figure out my next mods.
I've got a 2000SS A4 with the following mods:
Engine - FTRA, lid, GMAF, MAF translater, Diablo tuned, tr55s, ASP underdrive pulley
Exhaust - SLP Dual Dual
Suspension - STB, full front end poly bushings, LCAs on relocation brackets, double diamond subframe connectors, PHR, adjustable torque arm
Drive train - tranny cooler, transmission returned (Diablo), 3.73s with a TA girdle, Baer Brakes, GY F1 GS-D3s (275/40 & 315/35)
So what's next? The car never goes to the strip and what I'm looking for is maximum performance from 0 - 80 mph. I don't want to go any higher than the 3.73s so a 4.10 gear is not an option.
A convertor will roast the tires so that's not a good choice. Is there a cam / header combo that maximizes low end torque and power?

Honestly an A4 isnt the best for a street car, unless all your races are from a dig. If your wanting to make a street car out of it then just do converter/cam/DR's and you'll be good. You should grip w/those tires w/that combo if you ease into it, and even if you dont decide to do them since it will rip the tires loose, i promise you that some of the guys you will race will not have thought that way and done it to their cars, and win.

I'd do the following mods in this order if I were in your shoes:
Ported Throttle body (if you don't have yet)
Convertor (3000-3600 or so)
Drag Radials
LT Headers
LS6 intake
Cam (small to medium)
Tune
