Setup for grazing 12's

Hey guys

My car is in the shop right now getting the custom exhaust finished (longtubes into an ORY then a custom pipe with 2 bullets out the side like nascar) and besides that is has a cold air intake, A4 and 2.73.

next and probably last before i put it away for the winter i wanted to do a nice torque converter, shift kit, and 3.73 gears, im guessing between my bolt on's, and this rear end/tranny stuff i should touch the 12's maybe 12.9

any ideas? should i be getting some stuff before these mods? i was going to go throttle body and cam kit after the converter etc.

With those mods along with a pair of drag radials out back, you should be in the 12s no problem.

^ not really... .. Buying more them $4k in parts at once takes a lot longer to install than one would think.. Plus you have to add in the time that you sit on the couch drunk playing with them before you install them..

anyway... Yeah.. Suspension work such as LCA's, a torque arm and SFC's (maybe) along with what you have going already.,.. You'll hit 12's no problem..

Oh yeah... Don't forget the tune..
