Request Input on Expected Performance
So far my best time has been 13.43 @ 105 MPH with a 2.08 60ft time with my '98 A4/2.73 Coupe. Stock except for Intake, X-Pipe, and Borla Stingers. On the way:
BPP Long Tube Headers
3.42 Gears
PCM re-program ("Superchips")
BFG Drag Radials
What sort of performance should I expect?
Thanks.

Stall Converter
I have gone back and forth on the stall converter. I understand the benefits, but I am concerned about shortening the transmission life and breakage to other driveline components (output shafts, etc.). I know that if I do it later I wasted the labor savings of having it done at the same time as the gears.
I plan to enjoy my upgrades so far and continue to evauate future mods. TC is at the top of the list.

You really should reconsider installing a T/C at the same time you install your 3.42 gears. A high stall T/C is a must have for an A4. Depending on how you drive your car tranny life should not be shortened especially if you install a good tranny cooler. If you beat on your car alot you can expect to have to replace the stock tranny even with the stock converter.
