Default Next Mod....$600

Soooo I'm debating between a Holley NOS wet kit or a 3400 stall......what do guys think? I think the gas will be a lot more fun but if I get the stall then I can start saving for the cam but Im still torn.....

I would say go for the stall if you already have a cooler. I by no meens an expert, but I've read a stall works wonders on A4 cars.

Deff go with the stall you will love it it totally transforms the a4 into a beast ive got a 4000 in mine and its a monster its nice when you can pull a deep 1.5 high 1.4 60' and pull the wheels off the ground but thats just my oppinion

stall.

in reality, a nitrous kit will cost more than $600 once you get it tuned and the necessary fuel system upgrades.

then again, you gotta get a stall installed and tuned so...

I vote for the stall first and then nitrous later down the road. I would also reccommend looking at some of the sponsor's kits (check the nitrous forum) before buying the NOS kit. You can also get a used kit, rebuild the 'noids and have everything you need for around $400 if you are going to spray between a 75-150shot. Ben

I would say that the stall is a better choice first as you are less likely to break parts with it and you don't have to pay $50 each time you fill the bottle. One quick note is that you want to think ahead and get a stall that will match your future cam...3400 is a pretty small stall for many cams.

I bought a stall at the same time as I bought the car. Ive never driven it further than 20feet without it. Its a no brainer.

Just wanted to say that I love your car. It's making it hard for me not to get an SS hood. I don't want to look like a clone though, already have the SS spoiler. I just wish the were more hoods to choose from that I actually like.

Anyway, I vote for the stall as well. I plan on putting a 3800 stall in mine.... eventually.
