Overall, I have a nice list of mods worked out for it (shorty headers, catback, intake, underdrive pulley) and an extensive weight loss program (ultra lightweight wheels & tires, lighter brake rotors, removal of the washer bottle, the shorties + catback, and stripping some of the sound dampening) planned, as well as a few suspension plans (SS takeoff springs, aftermarket roll bars, and a strut tower brace). The goal is to run a 13.5 in the 1/4 without voiding the warranty.

The wheels/tires will save me 76 pounds, the brake rotors about 4 pounds, the washer bottle about 10 pounds (assuming a full bottle), the shorties about 10 pounds, and the catback about 30 pounds. That puts me at 130 pounds of shed weight before I start tearing into anything. And I'm shooting for at least 275 rwhp from the mods.

You're kind of the road?

But not really the road?

Nice! It's good to see someone who has a well thought out plan.

Yeah. Hopefully I can get it to 3650 pounds curb weight without me in it, and enough RWHP to put it at a 13.5 1/4 without a tune. Right now Aby is running the same intake, headers, and catback and is at 269 rwhp, but I'll have an M6 instead of an A6 and be running an underdrive pulley. I should easily be able to get to 275, if not higher. If I can't get to 13.5 using just those mods, I'll start tearing out more of the unnecessary bits to reduce weight.

P.S. - Oh, and I also plan on doing a Barton short throw shifter
