Motor looks insanely clean Don! Marco you're gonna be soooo happy when it's all said and done. You have been patient for a long while now with cars and waiting for the right time to do things... now it appears the final stretch is near! Can't wait to see the results of some shake-down runs...

Looks sick Don/Marco

Yeah 4.10's in a A3, your nuts because I know you wanna roll it on the street.

Hell I am contemplating going back to a 3.42 (not this year). I get like 250 miles on a tank now (hwy) and almost no track gains.

the 4.10/A3 isnt' that terrible on the street, it's the 5000+ converter that will make it silly.


I'm very surprised you didn't see any gains from the gear change Dan, only thing I can think of that would cause that is lack of traction.

Well it was about the hottest I've ever taken the car to the track and the converter I have launches like a *****. I had no traction issues thats for sure .

I'll be replacing the stall for next year (probably PT4400), that alone will help immensely.

My advice for street/strip auto LSX's is keep the gears mild and get the stall wild. Then your hwy mileage won't suffer and you see way more gains with a nice converter than lower gears. Remember I'm talking about lockup converters in electronic A4's, the TH400 is even more retarded in that respect lol, so I guess your right that the converter plays a bigger roll.

I drove my car to hampton beach and back which is about 85 miles one way. I used 80% of my tank, doing about 70 mph. sucks.

Dan,

I think the only thing that is hurting your car is that converter. Get a yank in there and low 11s all day!

The heat probably hurt it a good bit Danno, the heat always slows everything down.

If you are looking at a converter change, a yank 4400 will certainly be a ton beter, but before you buy one call Lenny@ ultimate converter concepts, talk to him. He can build you one specificially for your car for probably similar $ and I'd be willing to bet that it will be as good if not a tenth or 2 faster then a generic 4400 that's not built around your specific car.

Converter with an auto car is everything, having the wrong one vs the right one will make as much a difference as 100+ hp will.

I'm changing mine tomorrow fwiw
