Default What mods next?

I am helping a friend out to find out what the best next mods would be. He has a a4 '99 T/A with lid, MAF, TB, wires, off-road Y-pipe, borla, subframes, panhard, control arms, and 555r's. The best times he has gotten is 13.002 at 107.?? with a 1.9? 60'. Is this about what it should be running or what? Any sugestions would be apreciated and he is working on a budget so nothing extream.

Thanks,
Luke

Those are good times for what he got.I think the best Mod is a converter.Should bring him down to 12.5-12.6.

I agree with Slowhawk. Converter will see the best improvement. With the converter you may need some ET streets though if you get a big enough converter.

I agree with the converter too. After that i would say LS6 intake thermostat, pullies, throttle body and all the free mods. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
