A4 Mod's for bottom end torque
 
As stated what are the best mods for low end torque?
I always hear about increasing top end and I would rather get from 0 to 80 quick than going 150mph.

gears, sticky tires and stall

The real part about increasing top end is to have the car in the higher rpm that you're using. Going from 0 to 80 or 0 to 150 makes no difference. If you're going wot, you'll still be in the higher rpm's.

Low end torque is used for part throttle driving. The whole area under the curve debate. The more low end, supposedly the faster off the line.

What was suggested already in this thread is a good start.

What kind of $ does it take to have a stall done and is a Trans cooler a must?
What would be a good mild street stall?

IWGF Oct 6, 2009 09:09 AM

4k stall... circle d makes some nice ones. i would do a trans cooler for sure. you going to do the labor yourself or have someone install it for you?

slickone Oct 6, 2009 09:18 AM

I would take it to someone I have never fooled with autos.
4K sounds high for the street and there are no 1/4 mile strips around here just 1/8 and this does not intrezst me.

IWGF Oct 6, 2009 09:33 AM

4k isn't too much for the street, lots of guys run 4k's on the street. best bet to find cost, would be to call your local shops and get estimates.

slickone Oct 6, 2009 09:55 AM

I wander which would be cheaper gears or converter? With the A4 I would think no higher than 373's.

BIG BILL 2000 Z Oct 6, 2009 11:33 AM

i would say 3600 stall and 373 gears. thats my plan for my A4

+2 here. I am not sure on the brand, but Yank has been looked at.

slickone Oct 6, 2009 12:58 PM

Yank is one I have heard a lot on here.What about gears and what brand would you go with?

MonmouthCtyLS7 Oct 6, 2009 01:25 PM

342's/3600 stall here ...not sure the 373's would be worth the trouble...

slickone Oct 7, 2009 07:58 AM

Well right now I have factory 323's and if I am changing might as well go 373.
What brand of gears are you running?

BIG BILL 2000 Z Oct 7, 2009 10:48 PM

i would go with yank or FTI for the stall and motive or richmond for the gears
3600 and 373's are a good combo for the street.

MattxFatal Oct 7, 2009 11:22 PM

Stall that shit man. Go with an FTI3600 stall.
Took a ride in a car with one, damn near drove like stock.
Pulled like a mother fucker under WOT.
