Gears, converter & a cam will get you into high 11s. But if I were you I would get the SS3600 since you are swapping cams. You can get by with a mail order tune. But a dyno tune would be...

ECS does an excellent job. Cartek and the Vette Doctors are also great at tuning. I believe the converter you have stalls at about 1800 instead of the 1300 of the stock converter. However I am not...

If getting improved performance is your main goal. Install a high stall torque converter. A high stall converter is the the best bang for the buck on an A4 hands down excluding nitrous. I would also...

The factory converter is 13 inches in diameter. A lot of the after market converters are 9.5 inches. Give Yank or Circle D converters a call. They can answer all of your questions as to what stall...

Your SS3600 must have come from the factory setup too loose. I had an SS3600 before the SS4000 I have now and neither of them felt loose and didn't go to 2500 rpm when I apply a little throttle.If...

You have a fighting chance. Especially if you are the better driver. On paper his car should be faster. But your car has better gearing. I believe the Viper has 3.07 gears compared to your 3.42s. Get...

The C6 ZR1 is rated at 638 HP at the crank. I'm only talking about just 62 more HP at the crank. Should be easily attainable. I'm talking about a C7 version of the ZR1:thumbs:

How does a C7 700 Hp 416 inch ZR1 grab you. GM could use a 4 inch crank in the current 376 setup to make the added HP.

700 HP 416 ci C7 ZR1

What do you think of a 376 inch motor in the C6 ZR1 with a 4 inch stroke. Should make 700 HP without much trouble using the supercharger from the C6 ZR1. Would be a nice bump in performance for a C7...

290 RWHP is too low for your setup. 8.7 in the 1/8 mile is also slow. My c5 ran mid 8 sec times in the 1/8 when the eng was stock with just a 2400 stall converter. At that time my C5 was only putting...

what gears are you running. The bigger the gears the more like stock a high stall converter will feel. The Yank SS series converters are an excellent choice.

I went from 3.15 to 3.42 then 3.73s. A bit lower mileage with the 3.73 gears. But I still managed nearly 24 MPG on long highway trips. Keep in mind my car has after market heads and cam. Don't swap...
