Default looking for quick/easy performance mod...

I am looking to install a quick and easy performance mod to slightly increase the performance of my 2000 a4 vert. Changing gears seems too complicated at the moment. I just got a set of stingers put on the vette and was looking to add a little something else. What would you recommend. I was looking at Blackwing, Vararam...also how much of a difference would a k&n air filter get me? Do i need to get the car reprogrammed after these mods? what are good combinations? Anything I should know quality wise?

Thanks in advance for reading responding and remember that i am only looking for minor modification (no TTi...yet )

The Blackwing or the Vararam will give you more HP. A K&N filter in the the stock air box won't give you much in the way of added HP.

If you really want outstanding performance from your A4. You should consider installing a high stall T/C with at least 3.42 gears. Excluding NOS these two mods will give you biggest bang for the buck in an A4.
