So as a first plan this summer I am stuck on two options.

Option #1)
Headers/mid-pipe, then towards the end of summer a cam.

Option #2)
Stall/rear-end + high gears 3.73 or 4.10

In your guys' opinion, which would be more fun?
Or just which should I do first?

 

I forget, does yours have the log manifolds, or the tube manifolds? If it has tube manifolds, then I would go for drivetrain first. Since it's an auto, 4.10's, even 4.56's would be nifty.

 

Maybe its just because I'm low on sleep or just not comprehending right now, log/tube manifolds? Helps, lol.

 

Log example (looks like a log)




tube example:



they will obviously look completely differant, but this gives you an idea.

 

Pretty sure tubes, I thought only older models came with the square shaped ones.
All the headers I've seen for my car are tubular...lol just wanted to say that outloud.

Since I'm in an a4, would you be worried about running out of gear with 4.10s?
Thats the only reason I'm really thinking about 3.73s, that and the 20% highway I do, I don't want to be screaming down the highway lol.

 

yeah, you should have tube manifolds, I have logs (suckz). I'm not too sure about the gearing in an auto, ask stig.

 

I'll probably just end up going with the 4.10s, I can stick away from the highway, or stop speeding for once lol.
It sounds like everyone on FTV6 loves their 4.10s and wouldn't have it any other way, except going farther haha, I just gotta keep mine as a DD.

 

here, this might help a little. One of my earlier posts.

According to Smoke: " you can find ANY gear ratio in EITHER 2- or 3-series styles from jegs, summit, etc"
I guess I've got nothing to worry about then, I'll just find a rear end with a posi, throw in some gears and I should be good to go there right?
