Default Next mod?

Hi,
I have a 2002 A4.

My mods are:
224/224 561/561 114LSA cam
B&B Route 66 exhaust
Vararam
Tranny cooler
and I want to have some LTHS

I dont want to change any of my mods.

And I dont want to go with new heads yet.

Do you think i can get 400RWHP without heads?

What should I change next?

Please help me!

Just a FYI on adding Longtube headers to the B&B Rte 66 catback system - I did and the very mild amount(before headers) of reasonance between 1,400 rpm and 1,800 rpm became really loud and annoying. The Rte 66's became much louder overall - but sounded good - the reasonance level caused me to switch to Corsas. Just wanted to make you aware as you state you want to keep all your current mods.

I plan on adding a Magnuson SC to mine, which should put me well over 400rwhp. I suspect you would need heads and LT's to get there if you stay away from supercharging. Good luck

Time for the blower!. I would go with the D1SC for a street car.

Cheers,

Mark

A blower is to expensive!

There are to many parts I have to change then, like the tranny for example.

Do you guys think the original heads are good enough for a S/C?
And will my cam fit with a S/C?

I would like a supercharger but if your trying to keep the mods already on and you want that 400 rwhp, heads would be in your best interest. You may prefer nitrous which will give you a bunch of power.

And yes your cam would work with a supercharger

My search function doesnt work.

Can someone give me a link to a thread about superchargers and the tranny?

Or about superchargers and reliability?
