help me I'm lost
 
hi,
I'm upgradeing a 97rs to a 99ls1. Best way to make hp, but..I have a 5 in it now, bought a motor with an AT. I think it'll be great, but want to stick a tc in it before I install. I'm looking for just max street sickness. I don't race anywhere, might autocross. I've got it slammed with connectors,hals, alum. ds, and love the way it corners now. All aftermarket kmember/a-arms going in with the motor. It drifts, but real even and in control. 4:10's are in it now. My heros are those psycho road rally euros, I want that zap-zap-zap hit, like a dirtbike. It'll have a minor shot of nitrous now, probably a different built block and turbo in like 2 years. Would you gentlemen go with a stall, which one, or just sell the AT and try to get an M6? I just live for driving her around, I'm in KC and there are cloverleaf turns everywher. My only concern is busting completely loose in one as I accelerate through it. I've got good throttle control with the tiny engine, just am a little nervous that a big stall wil hit and just unglue me. I can torch the tires just with th v6, and am not too concerned with launching, I think I'll be able to resist wot launches. I want that big ol' torque multiplier.
ANy help/input greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you would like the ST3500. I don't know about autoXing but on the dragstrip, it hits hard off the line and from a roll on the street. If you are looking for a softer hit like street racng you might want to look into a SY3500 as the torque multiplier is lower.

If you wanna autocross with an A4 you do not want a high stall and STR. Exiting turns will be a nightmare for ya. You're gonna have your work cut out for ya trying to make an A4 perform well in both autoX and drag racing. I would concentrate on 1 or the other and go from there.
