Hello everyone. I am a newbie here and I have a question for you all. I am at a dead end as to what to do with my car. I want to make it go fast, but I am on a VERRRY LIMITED BUDGET since I am getting married in 2 months :( LOL

Anyways.. This is the setup I have.

1)- K&N FIPK CAI
2)- 160 T-Stat ( SLP )
3)- Manual Fan Switch
4)- Freebie mod's. i.e. grinded t.b. for more WOT affect, TB Bipass mod.
5)- Mac Mid-Length Headers
6)- Mac Y pipe less cat's
7)- SLP Loud Mouth Cat Back
8)- Nitto drag Radials
9)- On the way are Eradispeeds upfront ( 12inch ) and steel braided lines, hawk pads.

I would like to add a 3200 Vig but I dont have that kind of money. I can only spend around 3-400 bucks more AFTER my dyno-tune.

Oh yeah, :sillyme: it is a 2001 Camaro SS Automatic with stock 3.23 gears. ( kinda important info for a post like this eh )?

Ok, at the track in New Jersey ( Atco ) I have hit a best of 12.65 @111.71 with a 60' of 1.801

With the new headers and y pipe I can not get passed 12.70 because of a REALLY BADLY NEEDED DYNO-TUNE needs to be done. :(

So any information would greatly be appreciated.

I was told to do
1)- Under drive Pulley
2)- Sub-frame connectors
3)- Ported TB
4)- MAF

I just dont know which gives the best horsepower ( Tenths in the quater ) and the best bang for the buck on my setup.

Please help a brotha out here.

:D

My vote: Find a used N2O kit. Best Bang for the buck there is if you are after HP. Another option may be LS-1 edit.

gears always work...but you probably still have the stock rear...i'd say if you had some more money to buy a 12-bolt with some lower gears...

12 bolt is pretty expensive.

Torque Converter will usually cut your ET about .5 seconds, to me that is the best mod for A4.

N2O is another bang for a buck, but I personally never been fan of N2O.

Ok guys thanks.

Yeah the TC WILL be a definate add when the money comes around.
750 for the tc. 300 for install = 1,050!
NO2 is good. I am just scared of screwing up the pistons ( dimpled pistons? )

New gears would be a definate but with the gears, I would go 9inch i believe. 12 bolts I been seeing getting busted up on 450 rwhp and et streets..

Thanks for the advice.
