Default New Guy From Ohio

Hey everyone how's it going? My name is Todd and I just wanted to say hello. Iam currently working on a 98 Artic white T/A. Its a A4 car with just a few bolts on right now. Actually its my fiance' car. I sold my fox body because we are getting married soon and I didn't want her to sell her dream car. I currently just have a slp lid and k&n filter with a magnaflow catback. I also had the trans rebuilt over the winter due major slipage from cut input shaft seals from the factory. Trans got 2" extra wide band all kevlar steels and fibers, corvette servos, billet sun shell, and a trango shift kit. I also just had Bill Wright of custom LS1 tuning do a base tune on the car to cut down the torque managment and turn off the some of the BS sensor's. IE : rear o2 sensors, airpump, and egr. The best the car has run so far was with my future wife driving she went 13.71 @ 102 with out the minor tuning. Iam currently looking into long tubes, and ORY, also doing the ls6 intake at the same time. So thanks for your time and hope to meet some of you in the future

What's up Thober? You're going to learn a TON of good info here. Me and Tyler are chipping away at my cam swap. Made an appointment with Bill on August 19th to do a dyno tune. I'm going to try to make it out to DGs more also. I was up there Saturday with my buddy in the White 98 TA. Not a whole lot going on. So anyways, welcome and I'll catch you sometime soon.

Hey what's up buddy. Just saw Bill last weekend. He did some minor tweaking on the car's tune for me. Now I just have to get those headers from trigger and buy a ls6 intake and we'll be in some sort of buisness. I hope to see you out and about.

Welcome, seems like there are more folks from Northern Ohio than the south. Didn't think I had that much negative effect on people.
