ET streets should bring you to 13.00 maybe 12's.A converter will bring you to low-mid 12's.Converter should come before Headers on A4 cars.

Yeah but i got in on the group deal and they had the exact ones i wanted so i couldnt pass it up. Yeah i am looking into a converter. The problem is getting someone to help me put it in. Transmissions are the one thing on that car that scare me.

Default What does it take for me to hit 12s

2000 A4 camaro
I ran 13.5 with just HPP3 and a lid. Also it was 80s that day.
Now i have a loudmouth and a 160 thermostat. And hooker headers on the way. I have a bad traction problem i am starting to get taken care of. Getting 15 inch wheels and then some ET streets soon. I have every freemod possible. Shimed up the air box. With my set up will i easily break into the 12s? Before the headers, with the headers, and on street tires.
