Couple of performance questions
1)How much do you think a full Superram setup is worth(HP and 1/4 mile) on an L98 with stock heads and cam?(I know to get the full advantage heads and cam must be dealt with, but one grand at a time please)
2)What's the lowest e.t. do you think an L98 with 2.59 gears can go realistically?

Re: Couple of performance questions (CaneinBatonRouge)
I'm not sure about the super-ram setup resutls. Check out data in TPIS "Insider Hints" for some info.
With stock cam, heads, intake (relatively) and headers I run 13.2s in good weather. That's on street tires with a stock A4 and 2.59s. Cam, heads, intake and headers are worth another 80-90hp. That combined with some tranny & TC work and DRs would be enough for low 12s (my goal is mid-high 12s on streets with a stock TC).
So low 12s on a late L98 is within easy (though not cheap) reach.

Re: Couple of performance questions (CaneinBatonRouge)
well you would get over 400 with head/cam work and into the 12s
but with stock heads on an 87, you may get somewhere in the low-mid 300s in hp numbers, you would be in the 13s
