Suggestions??
I have a 01 A4 Vert. with cat back and intake with a MTI Dyno tune. It ran 327.8 hp and 334 tq.
I will be adding a set of Kooks headers and the Kooks x-pipe with high flow cats next week. I have about another $5K to throw at my toy but I need it to be streetable. I am open to suggestions on how to best spend my money.

I agree! A baby cam especially if your not going to do a higher stall tc. The best advice, I think, would be to do a higher stall tc, good heads/cam, UD pulley, etc.

So to go along with my Kooks install it sounds like the following will give me a decent street machine. This is keeping in mind I plan to stay with the 3:15 rear and want it to be very streetable and not just a hobby car.
1. 2800 to 3200 T/C depending on brand.
2. A mild street cam
3. Heads
4. Underdrive pulley
5. Tranny cooler
How will the A4 hold up with these mods?

. Kooks Headers, Black Wing Breather and Borla or Corsa exhasut.
(Custom Tune Needed From Here Down)
2. AFR LS6 Stage II Heads & a 224/228 581/588 114+2 Comp Cam, LS6 ported oil pump, SLP double roller timing chain, Comp hardened push rods. (Optional LSX Intake & an ASP Under Drive Pully and Alt Over Drive Pully)
3. 3.73 or 3.42 gears and a 2800 to 3200 stall converter if your an A-4
4. M/T Drag Radial's are required to hook if your serious about putting down a good time at the track.
5. Good Nitrous Wet Kit, I like the NX stuff or the Cold Fusion.

My thoughts and this was confirmed by Yank is that I am under converted for the 3.73 gear ratio. I will be installing the SS 3600 sometime next week.
If you dont do the work yourself where do you have it done?
