Default Too Much At Once??????????

Ok,my car is bone stock and this winter I`m going to save up the money to mod my 01 ws6.My question is I know I can do a lid myself,but in the spring I was going to have lt`s, and a h/c job done.Is that too much at one time for tuning resons or the best way to do it?Also it`s an a4 so the stall will go in before all the other,around 430-460 rwhp is my goal.

What do you mean too much at once? If you put a big enough cam in the car you should def. get it tuned. The Stock PCM can only make up for so much.

hell yeah man do it all at one time. that's what i'm doing when i get back home. i just want to feel a HUGE difference in the car instead of a bunch of slight ones. plus it'll be alot easier to work on with everything off.

Its not too much at once, but i think it would be more fun modding slowly. If you do everything at once it might get a little boring with what to do next, even though modding is never ending

Espace; does Cossie make a head that will fit on the SVO motors?? That extra flow could pick you up another 75+whp if done/tuned properly, no?

Not to my knowledge..buta company called esslinger makes a few badass heads worth similar gains not to mentinoa weight loss....


There are a few guys adapting a 4cylinder DOHC volvo cylinder head to these motors..looks promising..but they keep pretty quiet about it..so not ALOT of info out there about it....
