All bolt on's, what next?
 
First off its a 02 z28 A4, I have full bolt on's, kooks mid length headers, gutted y, slp loudmouth pipes, and ss hood. Should i cough up the money and get better headers? I have a 224/224 566/566 114 LSA cam in the closet next to Manley 221423 springs & 23632 titanium retainers, should i use what i have or would i be better off going with a F13 cam? Considering price on both, f13 around 400 i think and new springs..etc which would you use and why? I dont have a stall yet, I am planning on getting one but want to make sure i'm ready for it..traction.. And what heads would go go with my application? MTIstage 2 , patriot II ??? Any help is more then welcome..and thx in advance

Before you do those things research some info on a better and bigger torque convertor, or your power delivery will feel like crap. Once you have your convertor choice down then decide what cam you can and want to run. Most would say start at no less than a 3000 3200 stall. Good Luck

:werd: A torque convertor is a must for a A4.

true
 
I plan on getting a vig 3200 or 3400, i dont want to get it yet cause of traction problems on the street as is. I'm more worried about street racing then the track at the moment. Pulling down 8.19 with 1.95 60 ft at track with just bolt ons, its ok for now. I'm worried with the stall and no LCA... and all that stuff i'll just spin through 1, 2 and maybe some of 3 on the street..I dont know... thx

if you already have the 224 i would keep it...that cam puts out good numbers...i don't think it would be worth the money or hassle to get the f-13...
