If you want to run mid to high 11s you need to do heads and cam, at least a 3000 or more stall converter, 3.42 or better yet 3.73 gears, headers, underdrive pulley, proper programing, LS6 intake if your car is older than a 2001 and you will need a good set of tires(DRs or ET streets) to give you traction. I am not a fan of nitrous but that would be the cheapest way to run fast if you don't want to spend a lot of money on the other mods I mentioned.

Gears...nuf said... :smash:
For A4's, a low mileage 3.42, transgo, and Yank converter (2800 or higher)
:yesnod:
Under 1300 for the parts and 500 for the labor unless you DIY.

It's NOT esy and you will surely need to lose the stock T/C and those 2.73's ..I've got the mods to go 11's and I'm sooo close but still not there..:yesnod: I'm just waiting for the cooler fall weather to get to South Florida..That should do it for me!!:D Check out my homepage for videos of all my 12.00 -12.10 passes at the track.
So much depends on the weather,track conditions , traction ,skill of the driver. Mods alone are only the beginning. You've got some work to do! :yesnod:
