Just trying to get a few ideas? I have a 98 C5 A4, 2:73's with 18" rims in rear. I added a Vararam, LS6 intake, Long Tube headers with deleated cats going into Magnaflow system, and 80mm bbk throttle body. Bought a set of Nitto 555r's. I bypassed the throttle body coolant lines, deleated the egr and air pump. I am getting a set of 3:42's installed in 2 weeks and a dyno tune. I would really like the car in the high 11's but would be ok in the low 12's.
Should i spend the extra $ and install a converter while i do the rear? If so, what size? Im not totally against the idea of a cam or even a little nitrous as long as it is still streetable.
If anyone has any ideas, lets hear them!

Also have a '98. Do the converter when you do the rear. A 2800 to 3200 converter is fine with the 3:42 gear set. The Nitto 555R's are OK for the street use but do not hook at the track as well as the Mickey Thompson's. I use a 265-40-18 M/T for the track.
