Next bolt on? Alright, my birthday is coming up and I'm curious if I should get something for my car. Currently, I have a 94 A4 Z28 with an LT4 KM, LT headers, matching Y-pipe into a slowmaster, descreened MAF, (which was not necessary) and a Moroso CAI. I also got a high volume oil pump, when I was getting my car fixed from the timing chain deal...I don't know what to do next. Is there any other bolt on I can buy that will make a difference in quarter mile time? (I don't want to hear anything about a stall converter. I know that would be great, but to expensive. Lets try to keep it reasonable

I'm just worried about putting more wear on my tranny. Doesn't a converter put a lot of stress on your transmission? I'm looking for some mods that will get me more hp. A converter won't do that, but will launch the sh*t out of my car. I want to see a difference on the dyno. What do you guys think I would run in the quarter right now and what do you think I would run with a converter. Just out of curiousity.
Also, how do I go about the relocation brackets? How much money is it, how do I do it. Obviously I think I should take it somewhere. I haven't heard of this. Man, I'm a noob...

back when i had my A4 tranny with 3.73s i was running 13.9s with a 60ft of 2.0 if i had had a better stall(had stock) it would have made a hell of a difference in my timeslips my friends gt convertible M5 would get me off the line but i was passing him in between the 60 ft and 1/8th mile and just kept on running away from him (anyway how much are looking to spend torque convertors arent that expensive if you do it yourself just pay for the part i just started doing that stuff and it wasnt as hard as i thought it was) doing a t56 swap right now

When you were running a 13.9, what mods did you have? Also, how much is it to get a torque converter. (installed)
To answer "bigkap94z" I kind of want the HP. I don't go to the track all the time, so time slips really don't matter that much. Only once and a while when I go. I like to have the HP and notice the gains with everyday driving.

Don't get me wrong, they have there place...But I would say a good converter/LT's/CAI would be first on my list of mods for an A4 car. He already has the other 2 things, so i would definately get the converter.

I know that a converter is the best bang for your buck, I gained .3 when I was just bolt ons, but he said he didn't want a converter. Just my .02

Your car may have issues 60ft'ing that low due to the higher 1st gear in the TH350. I have a couple friends with 60ft'd in the low 1.6's with a stall/bolt ons/MT DR's..with virtually no suspension mods. I understand that the cost may be high from the first look, but he asked for something that would really make a difference. A good torque converter is worth far more than a bunch of little stuff that probably won't make a whole bunch of difference. I guess if he doesn't want the best he can do, then he can replace the flowmaster or put a cutout in...that should pick up some power since flowmasters are known for lowering your HP even on Bone stock cars.
