sounds good. i have no idea what kind of power i will be making considering i have 195 K miles

Wow, I had 153k on the clock when I blew my old motor. But it was eating and puking oil for a long time before it kicked the bucket. I had to add like a quart of oil in less than two weeks every time, no joke.
It's was nice to have a brand new motor to tear open and install all NIB valvetrain and bolt-ons.

i will rebuild it one day. its been a good engine. the woman that owned it before me put on 186K all highway, so its still in great shape. never had a problem with oil burn off or anything like that

Torque Converter and gears best mods you can make to it,

A4 = Converter + Gears

Yes, 3000+ stall & 3.73 gears will make it a whole different car.

do i really need a stall on a dd?

If you are going through the hassle of putting full bolt-ons and a little weight reduction on your DD, then yes. It will really wake up the car.

how much do they run?

Would recommend Yank Super Stock Converters... They run $725 at www.ls1speed.com (go under c5 vette since its the same engine on some models) and specify what year/make/model your car is

Stall and Gears would be my next purchase.

$750? wow. i will save that for when i touch the engine

If you put a stall in your dd, make sure it's a lockup. Put in a set of 1.6 rockers. Cheap 20-25 hp and easy to do. Comp magnums will do. ATI has converters.

sounds like ive done everything i can without touching the drivetrain or engine. a set of longtubes and an ORY is next, then an aluminum driveshaft. After that im done for a while

you can get used good converters for 400 bucks all day long.. and for that price (besides nitrous) NO other mod will give you as much of an E/T reduction.. it is by FAR the best mod for an a4.. IMO its the first mod that should be done..

when you cam your car later, you will need a stall anyone..

i would do a stall before anything, like i said you can get a good one for about 400 bucks used, sometimes cheaper.. my buddy just bought a brand new yank 3600 for 500 bucks still in the box..
