hey what is there to make our cars more responsive to the gas pedal..i got a 98 trans am but it feels slow..i think im used to the power..just put on true duals and lt headers but want to go faster haha

Mine feels slow too.
You just get used to it.

Time for an LS6 intake.

My wifes 98 Trans Am has a 3.23 gear and I can tell you it will really set you in the seat! Much quicker off the line than my 2000 Camaro SS was with a 2.73 gear, and the SS had a dyno tune!

Get the MSD Blaster Coil Pack the double spark will give you a nice start and then some MSD wires, if its an A4 id go with 3.73's

MSD wires only.. the coilpacks have been known to have issues.. stock are fine till over 500hp.. then its time to go truck packs. MSD is a waste of 900 bucks IMO

Ported TB, 373 gears, ls6 intake. That should have you a bit happier OP>

yea it is an a4 and i already have msd wires..changed em out when i put in new spark plugs...oh yea and my car has 175,xxx on it..but i bought it bone stock and barely put a new exhaust on a month or two ago

Did you get a tune after the LTs and true duals?

**xssesive** · 05-11-2009, 05:02 PM

I am telling you a 3.23 gear works! My wifes 98 has 168K on it and is quick in its own right. With no tune and stock except for a SLP lid and filter. In my opinion a 3.73 gear would be too much(we cruise a lot on the turnpike). My SS was kind of soft on the bottom also with a 2.73 gear, had to hammer it to get it to go!

**wanna_lS1** · 05-12-2009, 12:08 PM

no i didnt get a tune yet..still waiting to get a tune after im done with school..frost is going to tune it =) so im looking forward to that..and 3.23's would be better than the 3.73's? its my dd i drive it a lot so i need something thats not gona be just for track

Just an idea if Dr.Crash can copy my tune you then yours is basically free- minus my air/egr is gone and I have an ls-6 manifold. Also if he is cool w/ that.\
With those miles hough I see a new tranny, motor and rearend in your near future

**1998 T/A** · 05-12-2009, 05:26 PM

I have an 1998 TA A4 a4 that came with the 3.23's. I now have 3.73 and the car is fin on the highway. I was driving 30 miles work and 30 home all highway. car feels like it has alot more power than it does. I have full bolt ons but the gears best bang 4 the buck. Cost me $600 for the gears, install kit that replaces alot of worn parts, Performance cover( so I can mount the support bars, diff fluid, GM additive, and prof. install. Also the axle is quieter and feels better.
