Default FYI VAST Performance is now selling V8 4.2L timing belt kits+tuning info inside
We are working on adding more 4.2L products to our site. We should have some tuning for the 4.2L V8 A6 2000+ cars. There will be two separate chips for the 2000 and 2001+ cars. If there are any product ideas you would like to see please feel free to email us and we will see what we can do. Thanks.
