My 95 (see in sig) i was wondering what i could do to get into 12's where my dad's zo6 is? I just redid the rear end 10 bolt with 373's and i want something that wont destory it. A small H/C setup? If so please be specific on costs and labor and reliability of this job. Also what would i be pushing horsepower wise? What else would i have to change? PLEASE HELP.

thanks

Your sig needs a better breakdown....

You have stock compression pistons? a new stock cam? new stock rockers? What exactly do you have done.

All an A4 needs to get in the 12's is intake/headers/exhaust/stall converter and sticky tires.

CustomSSI

Well first off where are you located? And are you wanting high 12's? That should be fairly easy with all bolt ons and a good stall (your auto correct)..... If your wanting deep 12's your going to have to go with a cam or a H/C setup... A mid range cam will get you there with stock heads. Pretty much anything that hooks really hard will eventually break the 10bolt unfortunately... :-/ If you got any questions feel free to contact us..

Most A4 car rears will survive a while with a T/A girdle. Mine has 300+ passes and still chuggin. I can cut 1.6's with ease.

everything that was rebuilt in the motor was built back to stock. the bottom end wasn't touched. it was bored .30 over, my dad's corvette runs a 12.2 - 12.6 i want to be able to run with him better than i do now. i've never been to the track so i do n't know what i can do now.. .. what kinda intake to you mean. i have a k &n cold air intake. and what kind of headers should i get? shorties? whats the difference in price and performance, keep in mind im gonna be doin the work myself . and what kind of exhaust i have a hookercatback exhaust. please be VERY specific . im not as pro as you all are aobut this stuff, thanks

Just so you know, lt1's have a single cam, not "cams" like your sig says.

I think a CC306 cam (and 1.6 roller rockers and higher lift valve springs) with Hooker long tubes or even Pacesetters (for the money, they're a good header), and the already mentioned, stall converter (2800 or even up to a 3200 stall speed) and drag radials. Of course a nice port and polish on the heads would really seal the deal nicely, but if money won't allow it, just give the cam kit, stall, and tires a try.

how much would the cam cost? with labor? and what about the stall? labor and parts what would i be looking at WORST case scenario. thanks alot you all are alot of help.

What about for a M6?

There are better cams than the CC306.
Contact Loyd Elliot on the board vendor and talk to him about a set of heads and cam,a matching set, and porting the intake.
Get headers and exhaust and a converter and some sticky tire and ya should be there,maybe way past into the 11's.
Or a 150-200 shot of hose.

Ok a cam..... but how much are we talkin here? And what kinda exhaust ? i have a hookercatback on now is that not good enough? and the converter how much would this cost? I just bough a new set of sticky tires and they hook up well

1racerdude

Converter about $700
Headers and "Y" pipe about $800
Cam,RR's,springs, retainer,locks about $1000
Your castings ported and ready to bolt on about $2000+
Port intake about $500
Injectors about $500
Gaskets about $200
Tune about $200

Personal satisfaction, priceless.

An out of the box cam should run about 250-400$. Im not sure about a custom grind cam. If youre running street tires and theyre hooking now with boltons they wont be with a cam or h/c combo. you need atleast drag radials or street slicks. About exhaust ive heard alot of people like gmmg or 2.5" true duals.

The price will vary by quite a bit. Parts alone could run 1000-2000$ depending on what setup you go with. And $3000+ if you want to prevent breaking things you might have to upgrade the transmission (depending on how much hp/torque you make) and upgrade the rearend and other parts of the driveline/suspension to handle the sticky tires.

i really don't have 4 grand to spend on the car though. see the original post .....im lookin for the cheapest way to get into mid to high 12's...i don't wanna outrun my dads zo6 i just want to run with him. what would be my best bet with around a grand?? I don't want to use spray i think thats cheap and i don't think my bottom end could handle it anyways. Could i get away with JUST a cam? what would that do? plus...what could i do by my self to save labor? any thoughts ?????

Headers and "Y" pipe about $800

Add some 1.6 rr (like comp pro mag 7/16 nsa-- you need guideplates and 7/16" studs)

oh you already have rockers.. ok put the last couple hunge tward an electronic cutout instead.
