Next mod???
Next mod??? I have about $800 to spend on my next mod. I was wondering what you guys would recomend. I was thinking headers, a verter, or possibly nitrous. Just looking for the best bang for my buck. My current mods and times are in the sig. TIA

Re: Next mod??? Gears or a converter would give you a nice bang-for-
your-buck. Gears dropped my 1/4 mile times from a 13.0 to a 12.7 and that was on bald street tires. I went from a 2.73 to a 3.73 - man what a difference. I am waiting to install a converter. I'm hoping to see the same kind of gain. If only I could decide which I want to put in, the 2800 or the 3200. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: Next mod??? this time around I went with the M6. For the money go with the 2800 converter first, you will not be disapointed. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
Re: Next mod??? Order I would go:
1)
for an A4, converter
for an M6, gears
2) headers (good time to do true duels also....)
3) cam
4) heads
5)
for an A4, gears
for an M6, clutch to hold new power
I'm up to #5 now.....the car goes in for a Spec stage 3 and an aluminum flywheel next week <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
