e. none of the above <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

The HPP3 isn't out for the '02's yet, FWIW. Being an A4, your next mod should be a torque converter! It's the absolute best mod you can do for an auto, and with the right one you can easily reduce your 1/4 ET's by .5+ while retaining excellent streetability. There's a ton of info on various torque converters in the drivetrain section. I'd recommend doing a search.

I second that, torque converter should definitely be next. When I put the Super Yank 3500 in, I gained .4 in the quarter. When I swapped to a Yank Pro Thruster 4000 I gained an additional .2 in the quarter for a total of .6 over stock. That's a big SOTP difference <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks guys, I'm thinking of going with the Yank stealth to keep the warranty.

Do you think I'll see a pretty good gain form a 3000 or 3200.

Well I got the vig 2800/2.5 str and it was an awesome choice for pure street use! As far as warranty, a converter dosen't "misbehave" in relation to the rest of the drivetrain. It souldn't void anything really.

C O N V E R T E R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suggest at least a Yank ST-3500. Smaller and you'll be buying 2 converters <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
