But seriously I would get some bolt-ons like: air lid, ported throttle body, cut-out, shifter - if you got a M6, Nitto Drag Radials, all that totaled should be at the $700 mark and help decrease your times by .6 to .8 seconds and give you an extra 3-4 mph while remaining emissions legal. Hope that helps.

a good stall or a good clutch/shifter combo.

ohterwise, i'd get tint, lowering springs, and a cool pimp hat <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

How about you tell us what you already have and what you want to use the car for. That way we can actually help you instead of just guessing.

YYYEAHHHHHH <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Just a flowmaster muffler w/ dual 3" tips and a Whisper Lid w/ K&N Filter...

Was think bout gettin a throttle Body...Blower would be awesome!!!!
What kind of convertor are we talking about now? I basically use it for daily driving, an ocassionaly race when i see a salty pony that is obviously asking for an *** WHOOPIN!!! <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />

Then i'd get a pimp hat and raffle it off and use that money for new tires.... <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

If it were me, I'd do 4.10s and drag radials if it's an M6, or a converter if it's an A4.

if you race at all, a clutch or a convertor PERIOD!!!! END OF DISCUSSION!!!
if a m6 you will need a clutch soon, if a4 convertor is THE BEST mod.

If any money left over Drag radials.
