Good A4 Setup For A Daily Driver?
Picking up a 01 SS A4 on Saturday and its going to be my daily driver.
I already have an M6 GTO that is NOT very street friendly and I want this car to be very street friendly. My goals when the car is all done is Low 12's or High 11's. Needs to be reliable,have good manners, and decent gas mileage. Needs to pass California Emission, So no long tubes will keep stock manifolds and cats. Also not interested in N20.
Car already has SLP Lid & Magnaflow Catback.
Additional mods in this order when first getting the car,
B&M 29K Tanny Cooler
Yank SS3600 Stall
Nitto Drag Radials
UMI or BMR Adjustable Lower Control Arms
UMI or BMR Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets
UMI or BMR Sub Frame Connectors
UMI or BMR Adjustable Torque Arm
SLP Y Pipe (Too Replace Flat Stock Y Pipe)
Tuned Via HP Tuners
After sometime,
Take off/budget 243 heads
TR224 cam on 114 LSA
Pushrods & Double Springs
160' Thermostat
LS2 Timing Chain
Underdrive Pulley
Retune
Thats it for mods, after that it's saving for a future tranny rebuild.
Will this net me a consistent high 11-low 12 car?
Taking my needs/concerns into mind are there any suggestions or changes you have to make this a better setup?
Any input is appreciated.

Needs to pass emissions, no Turbo kit has a CARB number I believe.

can you have shorty headers in cali?
Or why not just slap a procharger on there, and not get into the engine. I have seen the p1sc go pretty cheap lately, and it would be reliable/fun.
Prochargers are also 50 state leagal.

Any header with CARB numbers is legal in CA, which would only include shorties. And I'm not sure if all shorty manufacturers have actually spent the money to get CARB certified. I know that JBAs are legal in CA.
Does Procharger/ATI have CARB numbers on their basic P1SC kit? I've never noticed myself. Good idea though, a P1SC on a stock car should still make well over 400rwhp.

This higher shifts will kill the tranny in the upper RPM's, but doens't mean you have to take it there everytime you take the car out. I would just not get into the gas too hard untill you had enough for the tranny.
also if you get the 8 rib set up you could take it down for emmision testing then up the boost some for some more performance. Just a thought.

If this was an M6 I would agree the Procharger is the way to go.
Any other idea's or improvements?
