I would have never thought it....
Hopefully with some DR's I can grab and and still beat him

How far are you going? Full 1/4>? If so that would be tough unless you are putting every pony to the ground..

You an A6? is he?

I'm hoping to have between 475-500 rwhp once the cam and underdrive pulley is installed. The 3.91 should help get me off the line. I know my only chance on beating him will be to get a good jump off the line.

I'm M6 and not sure on his. I haven't been back in town since he got it.

If you have your suspension squared away and can take him from the dig (MUCH harder if he is an A6) than you have a chance with gears @ that power range. You'd have to have a good 60' and a good reaction to the light-tree, as long as that power is going to the ground and you dont granny shift you could..

My next step after the first of the year is to mod the rear suspension but I'm not sure what all ill need to get it right or where to start.

Lower Control Arms, stiffer sway bar, Toe Rods, Trailing Arms and lowering springs will help also or if you have the cash Coilovers would be better.

Those will come with new bushings but you'll still need to get rear cradle and diff bushings then bushing for the front components.

I'd buy your trailing arms and toe rods first, that will help out a lot with wheel hop. As I'm sure you'll get plenty of that after your cam install

Thanks bro, I guess I better start doing some price shopping. Is there any brands I need to stay away from and what are the better brands to go with? Is it best to stick with BMR or I think I saw somewhere that ADM makes them now but I could be wrong.

There's what I think are the 3 major brands BMR, Pedders and Pfadt. I personally like BMR but it's really up to you lol do some research and see which ones you like. I liked the price and the quality of BMR so I went with them
