A4 or M6?

If its an A4 get a smaller converter if you want to run ~.5 sec quicker ET's. No other mod in that price range will get you even remotely quicker unless you spray.



The question is, what do YOU want out of the car?

Either way, I'd say you're looking at close to 390hp at the flywheel with those parts vs. the factory advertised 315hp.
This has probably been stated numerous of times but 390 Crank HP out of a mildly modded bolton car is simply amazing... I mean, thats still just playing with the tip of the iceberg before the real power adders come... I love the LS1...

I'm aware the LS2 has 400 HP at the crank STOCK which also makes it a badass motor however I believe it is running a bigger cam / slightly more displacement so it's still fair game in my book...

Depends on the headers... My MACs both dropped in from the top, while the Hookers went in from the bottom. You don't need to remove the engine, although some fitment issues might require you to jack up or grind the engine.

No you dont need to remove the engine.. Isn't a super hard job to do really.. We charge $225 to install LT's on LS1 engines and delete the rear 02 codes... If you have a lift or access to one give yourself a full day if its your first time doing it...

if you really want to spend 1000 then i would suggest finishing your exhaust if you are putting cutouts in and you already have a catback. i have a volant CAI. its nice, a sealed box so it doesn't draw from the engine compartment. its a little pricey though. i think its like 300
