hey guy's i was wanting to know if a 94Z A4 with the LE2 H/C package hang with some LS1 A4 cam only cars? see my car ran a 14.5 with just a catback stock 3.23's in Lubbock TX (don't know the altitude). My friend with a 00 LS1 A4 Z ran a 14.1 stock with just a flowmaster and 3.23's. now the LS1 car has a Patriot 226/226. don't know the lift. he hasn't taken it to the track yet but that thing can move. lol. he's got all the supporting mods now with 3.73's out back now and a 3400 stall. see i'm planning on doing the LE2 H/C package this summer with all the supporting mods and 3.73's out back with a 3200 stall. my question is will i be able to hang with him in the quarter mile if we are both on M/T's or DR's? i would really like to know.

 

I'd go bigger than a 3200 stall with the LE2 h/c package

but yes in your should be close if not you faster than him. rest of cam specs lacking the 226/226 cam sounds fairly mild and I'd say 350-360rwhp with a decent tune where as a LE2 car should be around high 300's rwhp through an auto. just make sure you have a good tuner and a well matched stall and he shouldn't be too much of a problem

 

what would you recommend? it's my DD

 

honestly I'd be more worried about the heads/cam part ruining your DD abilities than a larger convertor, people exaggerate how "X size convertor is too big!" I'd say a 3400-3600 stall would be pretty nice with that package.

with a bigger cam car, I'd rather a have a convertor be too loose (too large of a stall rating) than too tight (too low of a stall rating)

a 3000-3200 is gonna be pretty dead on for a stock cam car, I imagine would be fairly tight on a LE2 cam

 

so at least a 3400 stall? so if i were to get a 3400 stall what would you recommend launching it at the track with some DR's or MT's

 

Most converters like being flashed off idle when launched. Every converter is different though.

Go Yank 3600 or bigger.

 

My thoughts too, if your going with an LE2 package. At least a 3600 for some quick and fun times. Sooner or later I'm upping my stall rating from my Vig. 2800 to a Yank 3600 and my cam is smaller then the LE2.

 

yeah I was saying 3400 only for the reason that he's worried about going too big

if you want a good estimate on a stall rating to go with, go to fuddleracing's website and ask for a recommendation on stall to match that package, I'm sure he knows the general powerband of the LE2 cars

 

i spank my buddies cam only LS1 with the CC503 cam and a 100 shot

 

Make sure you get the supporting mods done, the gears and proper stall are a must for a well running combo. With everything in place, you should have him beat.
