Just info about everything....I only have headers, Hoosier 255/50R16s, P&P tb, rear sway, strut brace, ram air mod, tb bypass, and bump stop mod...

I know I need a new lid and maybe a bigger maf, but I was wondering just about everything I can do....

I know cam and heads, stall (even though I still don't know what a stall is even after reading about it from like 15 different sites), new rear/gears, skinnies, and tune (gonna get that done by Nick from Newtech in Hayward at the end of the month). But I don't know much about any of that so I need info before throwin money away and I have been researching but would like to pick the brains of fellow fbody owners so....

well you have basically a stock car with drag radials. expect like a 13.5 in the heat is my guess. Shorties were a waist of money and dont really do anything along with that flowmaster or suckmaster as I like to call it.

tune will help it but the best mod on a stockish a4 will be a converter with a higher stall. around 3500 will allow you to lauch quicker and get a better sicty foot. this does this by getting into the powerband quicker when launching.

I know that Sac is hotter than Sonoma (Infineon Raceway) but there before doing anything besides a cut-out I was running 13.24. I had to go with shorties because of emissions and it lighten the load a little bit plus I feel better throttle response (even tho that might have been the tune up my mechanic gave me) and flowmaster exhaust was on the car when I got it so I just added a cut-out. Sounds nice lol. I have been told a stall is the best bet at this point for my a4 but what will that do for driveablility because this is my daily driver so....
