Went to E-Town on slp day and ran a 14.2 twice with a flowmaster muffler,160 stat, CAI and crappy tires. My car is 95 Z A4. And I don't want Nitrous

 

Yeap, get a cam, springs. port the heads yourself, cai, and a nice stall.

 

haha yea ok

 

for $1500, if I were in your position would be do make sure the car is running 100% first, then! get some long tube headers, off road Y-pipe, and ditch that flowmaster and get a loudmouth or a hooker. If you want cats, then you can get them welded into the Y-pipe, that will run you prob about $1100. THEN, with the remaining $400 I would get a cold air intake (which I did not see in your mods Over valve cover wires, new plugs as well. And then get some DR's in the rear to get rid of those crappy tires. Thats about $1500 if you do ALL the work yourself, if you dont, then you got a problem :-D

 

I,m not sure its that easy to port your own heads.

 

Not sure if you can crack 12s with those mods... Depends on altitude/climate too...

Cam - $225
Springs, seals, all the head stuff w/ headwork - $950
Gaskets - $125
Timing Chain LT4 - $275 (call for pricing - ballpark)

Programming - $100

You may be pushing the limit of your stock injectors getting into the 12s. Go with stock, you'll be approaching the threshold...

 

my buddy is going 12.95@ 105 with this setupin his 95 A4


LT4 Hot cam Kit, Edelbrockheaders,flowmaster cat back,Off road pipe, Cut out,AZ S&M 52mm & Cold air, 2800,Vig,Built A4/cooler,girdle,Metco LCA, LT1 Edit

 

That setup sounds sweet except for the headers. He could problay go 12.8 with some hooker longtubes.

 

I like that package... while you are going in to replacing the cam, the heads are real easy to get to.

With the package mentioned by Madhatter, I'd estimate that package is worth about 380 HP (+/- 10).

 

ya this is one of those times when i wish i had a DSM so i could just up the boost and get a down pipe and drop a second for like $200.

 

You should be able to get there for $1500, but it all depends on how well your car runs before you start bolting stuff on.

Look at my sig and mods. You could do it for under $1500.

 

You dang right it isn't. Well not the first time anyway. Right now I'm on 40 hours I think. The second time will be way faster. If there was a second time.

 

If you were to buy the hooker long tubes, around here I can get them for 600 coated, then add the price of y-pipe.. lets say like 150 or so, cats if your going with them. 220. Your flowmaster might be a little restrictive but I'm not sure by how much, I think thats an opinion until somebody throws out some numbers. So lets say that will cost you about 800 without cats, grand with them, if you do the labor yourself you save yourself a good chunk of money. If you can go over your 1500 dollar marker id say go for some nitto DR's and a torque converter, from what I've heard that will hit you into the twelves, but your suspension might need a little help

 

It took me about 11hrs to semi port and polish the heads. No bowl work. THat is 11 hrs for each head.

 

OK Jet Hots are $500 shipped during a GP amd a hooker y-pipe is $170 so thats $670 and Cmotorsports has a cam package for roughly $600, any cam you want. So $670+$600= $1270. If you can do all the labor yourself and add $200 for OVC wires and whatever other random parts you need, you would be at 12's for under $1500. Thats if everything went perfectly too..
