12.9 is not bad with your current setup and especially since it's still summer time. What's your goal?

im in the same boat, i got torq thrust 2 rims and i painted a Z28 on my break light and i have a long list of crap im going to buy while im in iraq. Just start with some small stuff untill you can get the money for engine work. im going to get a 383 stroker kit and posibly the LT4 conversion kit which comes with cam, heads, max 58mm intake manifold, and im also getting some sort of ram air hood and a 58mm tb.

is this an A4 ? I would highly recommend putting the sway bar back on as well.

Heck you don't need a front swaybar unless you like to throw the car around the curves and turns. I took mine off years ago when I eas daily driving it and never even noticed that it was gone.
But if you like to drive spirited thru turns and curves put it back on between track outings.
