Aight... I have a 98 Z28 Camaro... Automatic (which really sucks).... and these are the mods I plan on making: Pacesetter LT Headers, TSP True Duals, SLP Cold Air Kit, Lunati Voodoo Cam (haven't decided size yet), BBK 80mm intake and TB... Anyone got any other ideas?

yeah..fuck all that lil dumb shit. gear it and stall it. instant 12s with a tune. then buy all the lil doo dads and gee gaws. i have a 1998 A4 and a intake, cam, and TB are useless almost without gears and stall.....that is if you havent done it already. great lookin car bro

Fast 90/90... nothing wrong with an automatic.. get a tune, stall and gears and ull be running 12s with fuckin EASE

hndakilr Oct 6, 2007 10:00 AM

stall, 4:10 gears, port your oem throttle body, port your heads, mild cam,decent exaust
you should be movin quick

I wouldn't go 4.10 gears for an automatic, unless its a track only car. Just get a 3000stall in addition to what your getting and get an LS6 intake and port/polish your stock TB..you'll be seeing low 12 ET's after that.

I totally agree. You will need a stall, and I would probably say do that first. Gears will also help greatly, I would even go as far as saying 4.10s for that car. You will definitely see a difference in performance with just those 2 things, and you probably won't be saying A4s suck after that.

I dont know about the 4.10s. 3.73 should be enough. Thats what i got and still get 20 mpg on the highway. The car is dam quick. I ran a 13.4 at 106mph in stock converter, 100* heat and hard street tires. 12s should be easy when it cools down and get the converter in and some DRs.

Unless you are looking to make it a strip car you can go hog wild. But if you have a budget to stay in this is the most bang fot the buck. JMO

I know a guy on here I used to work with, he's got an '02 SS with LT's, ported TB, some kind of MAF, lid, dyno tune, 3.42's and a stock A4, stock converter. He ran high 12's, I deleted all his TM and he ran it with DR's and did 12.6. All stock suspension.

I have the same car, when I had an A4 with shift kit, no TM, and a lid. It ran 13.2 at 106 every time, on the stock tires.

hndakilr Oct 6, 2007 03:33 PM

yeah go 3.73's... 3000 stall

stealthy_2005 Oct 6, 2007 05:02 PM

Thanks smallblockhero... I figures since it already spanked a mustangs ass might as well make it look good. Then really make it blister some cobra's and decimate all ricers... So 3.73 gears and cam and stall.... then ls6 intake and tb.... then the little shit?

00T\A Oct 6, 2007 07:33 PM

3.73's

Well, you said it for yourself right there. If you realy feel that way about an A4, either sell it and get an M6 or tranny swap, haha.

I agree with everyone else but I'm drunk right now :)
cheers!

SMALLBLOCKHERO Oct 6, 2007 11:22 PM

hope we all helped. all these guys helped me immensely ..as i was an LS1 newbie not long ago. seriously....just gear and stall it. Fuck the cam, intake and throttle body for now. the LS1 has so much left that you dont know about in stock form. the stall and gears alone will make you smile and all youll spend is around 900 bucks if you do it yourself. youll have a stock A4 that pisses off the M6 guys all day. you cant outshift an automatic and youll never mess up your launch by droppin the clutch too early or late.

spec_j Oct 6, 2007 11:33 PM

just start with the basic then go from there

stealthy_2005 Oct 7, 2007 10:40 PM

Yeah guys that helps out a lot... But can I ask a question? What's the point in having a stall without a cam? Doesn't make sense to me...

95GreenZ28 Oct 7, 2007 10:44 PM

Nah get a 4000 stall :) Well I am biased on the 4000 as well haha

I cant give you all the tech info, but put one in your car and see the differance. It will be night and day. That is all I can say:burn::burn::burn:;)

LS1Silverado05 Oct 8, 2007 01:07 AM

Funny how people assume A4s suck. I get people like "nice car man...too bad its not a 6 speed" Yea...too bad for the OTHER guy when I stall his ass!
