After bolton mods / what to do next So I have been thinking of what to do next and can't make up my mind. I want to save money so I will probably end up buying parts used, except if I was to go with a 6le front end, it would obviously be new.
Anyways, I am wondering what is next after bolt-ons, Car is an a4 so to answer that question and no it is not stalled. If I was to buy a used stall, what should I look for? Not looking to spend past 1400$, which could have next month.
Question: what is a good suspension setup for dd fbodys, looking to get some good performance from, it is ttop. What is a good height drop, for ride height, without being to low and looks good? it is sitting on 17 SS rims.
I am going back and forward between exterior mods, suspesion and brakes, a little bit of everything or just saving.
Here is list of what I am looking at.
eventually would like to do le2 heads and cam or possibly know if found good deal on used ones. But I figured maybe I should take care of supporting mods.
Panhard
LCAs
Springs and shocks
SFC
1.6rr
cc306 cam
ls7 lifters
pushrods
tint
ss hood and wing
mcnord front end
tsp catback (b.c i have straight pipes)
le2 heads and cam
tq converter (yank or vig)
HID
paint rims black( in order to save money possibly, anyone paint there own rims here?)
I am pretty sure, I will get brakemotive front and rear drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads
Topdash
n20
Any input or help or make your own combo of this stuff. Thanks
I also will have to spend 150$ on madtuner

I just installed a 3600 revmax in a ls1 ta and i was really impressed on how it drove with light throttle.
For good bang for buck and great driving experience a stall really is the best choice.... my .02
Next, add a little to a lot of spray... lol

Bolt on car Do Stall, Gears & a big cooler Then youll want more LoL so do heads & cam after BUT rebuild it & use ARP fasteners so it doesnt blow up UNLESS its way under 100k on the odometer Which most arent Do it right & do it ONCE My 2cents Suspension Depends on how wild ya wanna get But to me Eibach Pro Kit Springs & Bilstein shocks All poly suspension parts help too I like mine till I get better Replace the motor mount inserts & trans mount too If you need a 32mm front sway bar pm me & I will give you ole boys # that has new 1LE take offs from SLP for 75 shipped he had 350 left when I got mine LoL A 25mm in the rear is good too He doesnt have those though

I really want to do t-56 swap but any1that has one sell them for a million dollars, ha. I have ported intake mani, bigger tb, custom spark plug wires that have the protection around them so they dont burn from headers, I have poly trans and engine mounts. Engine was just put in a little over a month ago, has around 75k on it ( including trans) it was from bbody.
fuel pump and injectors are stock
fuel pump and injectors are stock
Are you serious?
Guys have made over 400rwhp through untouched stock intakes, since the intake is not worth bothering with now that makes the 58mm TB a questionable idea for right now. but he later said he already bought into that idea
A stronger fuel pump is not needed till at least heads/cam and neither are injectors.Then you suggest $2000+ mod for tuning when the LT1 stuff can be had for $250.
Are you trying to **** with this guy?
IMO suspension is a good idea. Stall would be a good idea if he were staying A4
REALLY!? over 400rwhp!!! NOOOO WAY!!! calm down there gunner, OP was looking for suggestions. but what do i know, i have a stock lt1 and have never been on this web forum, have never made one post or learned anything about lt1's. maybe next time i'll make OEM suggesting other then the asked aftermarket ones

Hands down if your looking for performance but not open up the motor you must do stall and gears. Not only is something that your going to need when adding heads/cam it definetly wakes up the car. Going from 2.73-3.42 was a big gain in itself but the built tranny we did last year on it with a stall was a night and day difference and actually makes it enjoyable to drive since im more of a 6spd guy and hated it before and thought it was "lazy". Once you add the stall your going to want to look into suspension to keep it hooked up.
