ECS vs UPP
Decisions Decisions Decisions....
Ultimate goal is 600whp/Mid to High 10 second pass is all I'd like
Wont buy either kit with there injectors. Will be buying ID1000's.
Currently car just has a axle back exhaust. If I go ECS, I will buy headers.
Install will be down myself along with buddies.
Car is A6.
No intentions of ever building the motor. Will be ok with doing a cam if I decide to do the supercharger.

I don't even think you will need to touch the gears or install a stall.
If you would install a cam, stall, and gear you would be going even faster.
ECS kit, tune, meth, headers...

If I put a matching cam and converter in my car, I'd be looking to go WAY in the 9s.

If all you want is mid to high 10s, don't even bother with a blower or turbos...
Heads, cam, intake, headers/full exhaust and a GOOD converter will get you in the high 10s, especially if its an LS3 car... Put it all together, get a good tune and forget about it.... Low maintenance and very low chance of ever hurting a motor..
Anything with forced induction has a higher probability of killing a motor.

I would go ECS route for what you have in mind. No need to spend money on ID1000s either. 60lbers would do it all day. You don't even really need a drag pack to run mid 10's. Nitto NT05Rs are plenty.

What's up dude,
I love my TT's, but for what you want, I'd say go with the ECS kit. You really can't go wrong with the power ECS/A&A produces with the ease of installation compared to a TT kit on these cars.
Gotta love the ID1000's too.

A&A Corvette S/C for some fun
You could run our kit with a nice converter and get the numbers you want with room to grow.
Here is Ronnie's '05 Stock LS2 A4 vette that runs a 6.89@99mph in the 1/8 mile with a soft 1.57 60ft. That would be about a 10.72 in the 1/4 mile.
Specs:
A&A V3 Si-trim 3.6 pulley
Yank 3200 stall
M/T 305/18 drag radials
Stock exhaust manifolds and cats still
Magnaflow catback mufflers
Stock A4 diff

Coming from the honda world, I was dead set on the turbo setup but i'm just not sure if it's as realiable as the blower kits on the LS motor

Then go with the ID-850, or even the 725's if they fit the LS2. I have the 850's since they're a direct drop in for the LS3 manifold, and they are still way more injector than I need at ~700 whp.
