I have headers, exhaust, air intake - Now what? Looking to get the best value or bang for the buck I can? Any suggestions on what performance mods are available? Thanks

Performance tune or head work, brakes, body parts? It really depends on what direction you want to focus on?

What gears are you running? That's usually the biggest bang for the buck, hands down!

Or a nice nitrous system... Heck for $2.5K you might be able to do both!

Put in a 3.73 in the rear end.That is a mod you will instantly tell the difference

Agree! That is one those mods that I have been kicking around for a while. 3.73's will add a ton of snap getting out of the hole!

Yep! If you have a stick and don't do alot of highway driving consider 4:11s!!! That'll put a capitol L in launch... LOL

Had 4:11s on my '77 autocrosser, actually bent my seat frame!

Go with the nitrous system! I was just looking at a pretty cool hurst shifter yesterday that has the boost switch right on the left side of the shift handle. There you go!

Went from 3.15's to 3.73's on my A4- worth every penny. The higher revs make the exhaust sound better too!:thumbsup3:
