What performance mod should I do next?
I'm trying to figure out what mod to do next....My budget is approx $2500 and I'm trying to gain as much horsepower and torque as I can for the money....I have a 2000 coupe A4, and have been debating selling it for a Z06...I can't get over the fact that I can't remove the roof on the Z06, so now I'm back to sinking $$ into more mods on the coupe...SO my question is what should I do next with the money?
Here's a current list of mods:
Blackwing
Magnaflow X-pipe
Corsa exhaust
I believe I'm running 3.42's (the window sticker I got from previous owner has "performance differential" listed as an option and my code reads G92-can anyone verify if this true?) so I believe my rear end is done.
Any help is appreciated.....I'm addicted to the constant pull of the Z06, but again the roof issue is a problem for me. What should I do with the money to beef up my coupe?

If you want as much hp/tq as you can get for 2500. I'd say go with Longtube headers and better air intake. Then have it dyno-tuned. My guess is you'd realize around 30rwhp/20rwtq with the above. Then, see how you feel about that, and you'll figure out what you might want to do next. Do alot of research!!! If I'm honest with myself, I realize, there is plenty of times I wish I would have left my car basically stock. But, when I step on the gas real hard, I know BETTER!!!

On road race track a Z06 can not follow me and I'm talking about T1 Z06 that race in national.
I install the intake and exhaust myself and this makes this mods under $2000.

header, gears and a 2800-3200 stall then tune. If you have a shop install your stuff normally doing the gears and stall at the same time does not take much more time and usually does not cost much more to do both at once.
I had a heads and cam in my 99 A4 C5 with a 3200 cost me around 2300 to do myself. I use to pray on Z06's (they usually started it I swear ), especially when they wanted to show me they had a Z06 over my lil C5. I walked all over those guys. One guy flipped me off lol. Of course not all Z06 owners are bad. But some of you know what I mean 
But i like my targa top, thats why I have a Coupe still. Its my thing
