Mine blows the **** out of the tires anything under 35 in the street.

 

Look for a low STR stall. The SuperYank 3500 was perfect for street tires. A 3500 with 2.0 STR can be feathered off the line pretty easily.

 

Why not get DR's? Nitto's or BFG's?

 

I was just looking to get one set of tires for the street that would last a while and one set of rear tires for the strip. Those would be my drag slicks/radials. I could always change my mind about what I want to do, but that is what I had planned on doing.

 

just get nitto dr's for the rear and get those nice street tires for the front. that's what i'm doing and i love it. the nitto's will last 12-15k, 20k if you dont drive too hard often and are willing to go down past the wear bars lol. considering like gsd3's will last about 30-35k, that's not alot more mileage for superior traction. z rated tires just dont last very long, the tread compound isnt hard enough.

 

3600 stall with ET streets

 

My SS3600 completely owns my 315 Nittos on the street with a bone stock motor. Any "street" tire would be absolutely useless.

 

I installed the SS3600 over the weekend. All I can say is whoa! Street tires would be useless.

It will be real interesting launching at the track with my Nitto's. I think I'm going to have to roll into the gas.

 

A stall is the single best mod for a bolt on A4 car! No matter if you take it to the track of not. It really wakes up the car.

 

I like my stall 3000 it has losted gas mileage but it is fun through out the whole drive there is less lag between shifts and stays in the power. from a roll it's faster now. but don't forget the a cooler because they heat up more.

 

+1 QFTMW!!

 

With the right driving style I am able to stay within .5mpg of my stock transmission/converter, and I have an SS3600 that runs me up to 2500rpm driving on the street. If I actually accelerate to where its more fun to drive (that converter slingshot feeling, more pedal equals more go), mileage is certainly affected. Then it runs up to around 3000rpm.

 

I couldnt have said it better!

 

That sounds like it's good to hear. One thing I'm worried about is the rpms making my car louder. I just got duals and it's loud enough for me now, and I don't really want it much louder. Are you saying that the 2500rpms is the most you get to driving in normal traffic then? That doesn't seem too horrible... I get up like 1750 right now, and above 2000 if I get it in just a bit.

 

Not trying to jack this thread but I was curious about something related. I'm wanting to do a Cam swap. Most of what I have seen reccomend changing to higher stall converter. Do I need to change the rear end gears at the same time or is that something that can wait. For a little while longer this will be a daily driver so I really don't want to completely kill my gas mileage. Still has stock 2.73 gears. Gets 23+ mpg now.

 

You'd be happier with a 3:42 or 3:73 gear with a bigger cam.

A stall will also be reccomended to get the most out of the cam swap. It might be best to do the converter, then gears before the cam swap.

 

So it would be alright to run a higher stall with a gear as high as stock? I figured that would cause alot of stress on the converter and tranny.


Anybody ran higher stall with stock gears? What was the result?

Comes out of the hole good right now, but because rpm's drop so much when it shifts into second gear it falls flat till the rpm's can get back up in range.


Thanks for the help. Sorry again for jacking your thread SPEEDMONSTER.

 

couldnt hook up for the life of me

 

Well yeah if you go WOT out of the hole you'd spin forever. So maybe just ease into it. I drove a 4200 with 4.10s and didn't even have a problem with snow tires on in the winter.

 

what is your driving style? how do you accelerate normaly from a stop???
