you'd prolly have more luck in the 3rd gen section.

BTW, my buddy has a '90 TPI 5.7 A4 hardtop 2.73'd car than went a best of 14.2 @ 99 when it was bone stock.

as far as modding it, i would suspect it wouldnt be too hard. the power is not too much different from the LT1s, the LT1s just have more top end. i think the camshaft in the TPI 5.7s is very small. i know my buds car redlines at somewhere between 4,5-5k. but i dont think it would take too much to get one running good.
