Question about my setup Hey guys, i'm wondering what to expect out of my car when i run it this spring. It's a '98 z28 A4 After Christmas, my list of mods will be:
-PCM tune by Frost
-Lid
-Drop in filter
-BMR LCA's
-free ram air
-egr mod
-ported TB (possibly)
-dumped dynomax bullet
-Stock 3.23 gears
Now, assuming i get a good set of sticky tires, and hook decent off the line, what kind of e/ts should i expect? I just want to hear you guys opinions. Btw, sorry if this thread belongs somewhere else! Thanks guys!

alright low 13's would make me happy. I'd do a victory dance if i ran a high 12 lol. And yea, i know a stall would help, but i want to finish making it a full bolt on car and then get into the more in depth stuff.

Changing plans guys. Instead of the tune, i'm gonna spend the money on getting a panhard bar, and a strut brace along with the LCA's. I'd rather build up my suspension first.

Yea i wasn't meaning that the strut brace would help much of anything, i just love how they look. The main money is going to the LCA's and PHB, i'm only spending 40 bucks on the strut brace. And as far as it being in the way of the intake..its only 4 bolts and comes off in like a minute so that don't really worry me either. I'd just rather build my suspension some, get more bolt ons such as headers, then get the tune.

I'm no f-body guru, but in order for the strut tower brace to not improve anything, that would imply the chassis is about as stiff up front as it will ever get. I find that hard to believe, especially since all cars flex to some degree. Now, I will concede that a strut brace is less effective on some cars, because of their natural strength, but not entirely useless. just my $.02

Yea i agree with ya man, yea it does stiffen it, i'm just saying i'm not really getting it because its an amazing mod or anything like that, i just think it makes the engine compartment look sexy

Not going to get in a pissing match but if you want to add useless weight to your car be my guest....
oh.....and since you are asking about timeslip mods the biggest bang period on these cars you have not listed.... a GOOD stall... for you a 3600-4000 would be best....

Yea i'd really like to stall it, but i don't want to affect street driving. I drive my car a $h!tload all week so i have to keep it really streetable. And, i'm not going to be racing it much. Just a few passes to see what she'll do.
