How much does it cost to mod.
How much does it cost to mod. You have a 2002 Ls1 with an A4 and put down 290rwhp, which is a 12% powertrain loss. Your built tranny and rear is ready for any thing you throw at it.

not to mention, if you do it as you mod.. usually you end up upgrading already bought items.. which in turn is wasted money in the hp/$ ratio.. itll kill it fast.
Not to mention alot of people put in supporting mkods that add no hp at all.
Doesnt look like you took into consideration tires/wheels.. suspension mods etc.
Didnt include any of the new twin turbo systems they have blowing around.
Though the built tranny/rearend was mentioned.. but what's that run installed? 6k? parts and labor. hurts
hehe
The first two builds wouldnt need the suspension rear/tranny mods.. though when you start hitting the 400+ range then you need them.

start with gears and a stall(if your tranny doesnt already have it)
Then get heads/Cam/boltons Run you anywhere from 2500-4000 depending if u buy used or new parts and where you buy them.
Search is your friend!
Your car runs pretty stout for a stock A4.

your car runs very stout for a A4.
How much ultimately depends on which route you wanna take. What you expect from your car, and many other things.
Try searching the dynometer section, and using the search.
H/C/boltons run you anywhere from 3000-4000 for everything and ultimately if you are going to perform the labor yourself.
Good luck. This is a very expensive/addicting hobby.
