I think I am going to take a drive up to fast inc and get a dyno tune soon
The car is an a4
I am going to get a full dyno tune, which runs $500. I think after that I willjust purchase a transgo shift kit and call it a day for now.

yea i would save the money and get a real tune like ur planning on doing now u will gain the most from that. to tell u the truth the radials are not going to do not much for ur car without a torque converter or gears. people break 1.8 60's on street tires. i would wait for radials right now plus they burn up so fast

Well I have made my decision. I am going to put the exhaust on this weekend. After that, I will take the car the speed inc for a full dyno tune.
What kind of gains will I see from the full dyno tune? I will have full exhaust, a lid, and a P/P TB. I want to be running 12.8 or lower. Is that possible?

Probably not likely with only the mods you have although it is possible. Honestly I would wait on the tune until you get headers and either high flow cats or an ORY. The gains aren't worth the money IMO.

I know after my full exhaust I've been running stupid rich, and it's probably hurting my gas mileage, lol (dd). I hear tunes work wonders for auto trannies too.
You getting a new stall soon? You might want to think about getting one before your tune, not sure how it'll affect it all with that auto, I know nothing about autos, lol.
Unless they offer free retunes for every mod, then it doesn't matter, but most likely they charge a percentage of the original fee. Just something to think about.
