wow man looking at your sig and you've had a rough time with the Camaro's about the power lose, i think its ten to 15 percent less than the M6, I THINK I WAS TOLD BY OTHER THREADS about the power lose, but not positive. good luck on the '98 hopefully this one will stay longer than the others!

No you dont want that, unless for a beater then you could have that little sticker of the kid pissing on the ford logo while flipping ppl off, classic....just like my friend! he had taht sticker driving a mustang , ROFL!! that was classic, but seriously, dont backtrack. Buy Camaro and invest in a security system and some kill switches, simple yet effective.

Stock 98 a4? I'd say expect 285-300 rwhp. As for the second question, It would all depend how loose the converter is.

Sorry to go but whats the deal with the temp gauges on 99-02's? The 98's the only ones that were accurate?

98s are accurate? I just compared the dash to the computer and its way off. At the tic between 160 and 210, the real reading was 208. Midway between that tic and the 210 tic it was 223.
