Default Help me go faster......

I am at a point where I need help going faster. I know that there is plenty of things to buy, but what would be the best at this point in my modding?

I have recently switched to an A4, from a T-56. I have a vig 2800 stall, stock 10 bolt w/3.42's, TR 224 cam and bolt-ons.

I have gone a best of 7.59 in the 1/8th with a 1.64 60ft. Today I ran and I had all 1.6x 60's with no spin, and ran 7.7x's. The time diff is the different tracks and the temp.

My question is, what would be the best mod for the buck for my setup? I want to get faster than what I am now. I know this is a broad question, but do you think that weight reduction, Heads, Intake, gears or new stall would be the best bet for me? Thanks...

All depends on how much you want to spend, if it were me and wanted a good N/A setup, I would up that stall to at least something in the 3500 + range, get a more stout gear in the back, and add the heads and intake, you can find CNC cylinder heads for cheap from the sponsers...

You can also do the simple weight reduction stuff... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
