I'm currently running high 8's to low 9's in the 1/8th mile and my current mods are LM catback, 160 thermostat, pcmforless programming, slp cai, and a shift kit. I was wondring what mod would be best to get next for my car without messing with the heads or boreiing over the engine. I was thinking either cam or headers and I know i really need slicks or drag radials but I don't have the money to buy a new rear end and I know the sotck 10 bolts don't hold up well.

Torque converter... the stock 10-bolts are hit and miss, some people break them with STOCK cars, and some have heavly modified cars working fine on the stocl 10-bolt. I have personally gone 1.7's in the 60' with my 10-bolt and know of and seen many go 1.5xx's.

I'd do 3.73 rear gears, converter and headers in that order. Dont be afraid of the 10 bolt , it's the 6 speeds that have the most trouble with them.

I have a butload uf sub 12.00 second passes on my 10 bolt.

thanks so much that is a great help both of you

torque converter will be your best bet, and gears if you have the crappy 2.73s.

engine wise, headers are a must, they will benefit any other power mod you do after that.

Basically what everyone else has mentioned, Headers, Gears, and Stall Converter.

I've heard that the slp lm exhaust sounds "not good" with headers and no cat. I just finished putting headers on my 95 with a hooker cat back and cat and it sounds wild! It is a noticible difference and I dont even have my computer programmed for it yet!

I went from 2.73's to 3.42's and it was my best mod.I have the same stuff done to my car.I'll see how it runs sunday at the track.
9.0's before @ 78 with a messed up tune(a/f 10.4 to 1) now 12.9 to 1.

bob-o your car is not going to really gain anything from a tune and it won't sound any different save your money and put it towards something that you would need to tune like a cam or something but just bolt on's thats a waste.

kaoticcamaross

so would a cam not be benfical for me?

PurplePonyEatr

Right now, your biggest restriction is your stock manifolds. Let the car breathe! If you put a cam in there as it sits, the cam probably won't reach its greatest potential until there are some headers on there...

so what torq converter would be best for my a4

On a street driven car with the stock cam, i would say a 2800 stall would be a good choice.

any brand better than another

well, I believe that Yank or Vigilante are the best but you are going to pay for it. If you don't want to pay as much, TCI is suppose to make a really good converter. I'm getting a Midwest stall converter for my car really soon and I have not heard anything bad about them either. The only thing on top of the cost of the converter is the fact you will need to buy a tranny cooler.
