Well, I Bought A Car...

I bought a 98 SS A4 with 26,000 miles. I have a 93 Z, and don't really know a GREAT amount about LS1's. Here are the mods:


K&N Air Filter
ls1 Motorsports Lid
Free Ram Air Mod
Comp Cam--Specs (.566/.566/222/222 lsa 114 @0.050)
Comp Cam 918 Ovate Valvesprings
Comp Cam Chromoly Pushrods
Comp Cam Titanium Retainers
LS1edit
ASP Under Drive Crank Pulley
Mac Mid-Length Ceramic Coated Headers
Off Road Y-pipe
SLP Dual/Dual Catback Exhaust
Flowtech Exhaust Cutout
Vigilante 2800rpm Torque Convertor
BMR Sub-Frame Connectors
BMR Strut Tower Brace
Tunnel Brace

I was wondering what kind of power you think the car is at, and what I should add next? I don't want to spend alot of money next, thus no nitrous, super or turbo charger, 12 bolt, or heads. Just wanting to finish be minor mods before I go big.

Thanks, you to! I have been thinking about the LS6 intake with a bigger throttle body. I would like to reach 400 rwhp, but I think I will have to go into the heads for that, what does anyone else think?

Nice car!

I'd also suggest some DR's...and a tranny cooler if you don't already have one.

Thanks! That is first thing I am going to do is to buy the cooler. Looking at some of the writeups, it doesn't look like it is that bad to put on. Thanks everyone for the advice.

I agree, DR's. All that power is worthless w/out traction.

As for the larger TB, just either port your stocker or you can buy a ported stock unit.
