hardcore techs help. right now my car is a stock a4. what could i get out of 4:10 gears and a tuner? i dont know if that sounds wierd for my first mods on this car but i just want it to be QUICK while working for my mods. is this a bad idea? if not, how much will both of these mods cost/what are the names of manufacturers for them that you prefer?
thanks for your help.
thanks for your help.
I had a 410 in my 98Z and loved it. I used Strange had no problems with it. You can get a gear and install kit for under $300. If your going to spend the money on a tune you should add some long tube headers and an aftermarket cat back to take more advantage of the results. How quick are you trying to get the car?
well im in cali so i have to pass smog and i dont think i can do that with longtubes. but i plan on getting ls6 heads and intake, port/polish stock tb small cam, and if not longtubes, shorty headers, catted y, to a bassani muffler and catback.
i just want to have it quick until i get all that.
all said and done, my mechanic said maybe 400+?
but with a streetable tune with all those mods, what do you think i could make?

Shorties are a waste of time on these cars. You might hit 400 RWHP with a nice set of heads and a decent cam if you still want to keep all of your emissions stuff, but I'm pretty sure they make LT's with all ur smog pump hookups on them still. As long as you keep cats and get a good tune you should be fine.
Yes, they mail Long Tube with the Air and EGR ports, but the reason why Long Tube Headers will not pass the Calif Smog test is that the Cat location will need to be moved (in distance from the head/port). It will fail the visual (unless you know the inspector will not look too close).

so if i can get longtubes for sure, what brand do you guys suggest i get? i was just going to get pacesetters because thats seems to be the best. and then what brand of catted y pipe should i get?

What headers you should get depends on a few things. If you want them to last a while then you'll need to go stainless. Coated just doesn't last very long. Pacesetters are very inexpensive. You will get a good power gain and good sound but they don't make a stainless version so they will eventually rust. For stainless, QTP and Kooks seem to be on top but some people are having luck with eBay headers.
you asked about gears, well is this your DD? if so you dont want 4.10's cause gas mileage is gonna eat ****, i wouldnt go any higher than 3.73 on a DD, now if you dont DD it, then 4.10 will be alot of fun, i am assuming the tune is to adjust the speedo, maybe tune out torque management and lower fan temp, hope this helps
