street strip set up for me (did search) please help
Ok right now i have a bone stock 01 A4 camaro and am in the process of figuring out my combo and ordering EVERYTHING in a couple of weeks.
I will be adding FL headers, true duals, 4000 stall, 231/237 cam all little bolt-on's and a 100 shot , so I guess I am looking at low 11's high 10's.
this will be a 95% street car and will be on nittos for the 16" wheels then I will get BMR tubular subframe conn then what
I was thinking
spohn adjustable TA
BMR tubular control arms
BMR adj panhard bar
stock springs and shocks with front sway bar removed( I know hals would be better but it is a street car)
1 Is the adjustable torque arm all I need to adjust the pinion angle?
2 Is this overkill for low 11's?
so help me not waste my money for the goals I am setting for myself
thanks

The relocation brackets seem to be excellent traction device for street/strip set ups. They were actually developed to gain lost control arm angle after lowering a vehicle. But have been found to work excellent on a stock height vehicle as well. They allow you to adjust the rear control arm angle, such as a lift bar set up is designed to do. I was extremely impressed with mine and recommend them.

Your on the right track to getting the car to hook but I think for your set up some adjustable shocks are going to be key. I run Hals on my daily driver and they hold up just fine. I set the rears at 5 and the fronts (R series) at 4 and the car hooks good on the street and handling is ok (no front sway bar). If you plan on making this a nitrous car you might want to go with a lower stall (3600-3800). With the 4000 stal you will not be seeing the gains you should with a 100-150 shot. The PYE3600 is a great converter for N/A & nitrous, it's not cheap though. I've had great luck with my Midwest 3500.

well I think I am going with the larger stall and no nitrous ,and just a cam and bolt on's . matt at TSP said their test car with the setup I want is already going hi 10's and I think that is plenty fast enough for what I want
