depending on your expectations, I'd go with a cam and heads. Different stall converter depending on what you are looking for.
What tuner did you buy?

well first use your diablo to turn the torque management off when you race it will help you time out, if you havent done so all ready. i left mine off all the time but some will say drive with it on and race with it off. but i would do a TB, cam, and then go with a stall converter. if you have the money then yes get some heads.

First and foremost, anyone with an '04 A4 NEEDS to have a new Stall, something between 3200-3600, you WILL NOT be able to wipe the grin off your face the first time you launch it, etc. lol

I would definately do a cam and stall, then sell the diablo and use that money to pay for a dyno tune.
