z06 heads Should do at least good valve job and freshen up
.600 lift cam N/R
92 fast
ls2 tb
electric water pump WHY
radiator Dewitt's WHY AGAIN
AR long tube headers (3')
((noooo CATALYTIC CONVERTER))) ONLY GAINS minimal Hp and the car stinksX pipe (3')
exhaust route 66 CORSA Sounds real sweet and not overpowering

THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPNIONS..
You have to FACTOR in a few other things #1) A4 or stick #2) Rear end combination #3 DO YOU HAVE ALOT OF $$$ TO WASTE #4) What are you trying to gain out of your build...
I just went through the same type of build upgrade and I'm very happy with my Vengeance package so far 380 rwhp /370 rwtq..
Just waiting for my Vengeance Fast 92 ported intake and ported TB combination to get here
Just my 2 cents of input.... One step at a time planning will get you the best overall package suited for you and your cars combination
