Default Power Goals

Hey guys, I have a 00 c5 A4 vette. I'm looking to make some 10 second passes and make over 400whp, below is a list of what I plan to buy to meet my goal. I need some help as far as a couple questions. Will you guys help me with these questions please.

Currently the car has a Magnaflow axle back exhaust.
I plan on adding the following:

VaraRam Ram Air System
TSP Long tube headers
TSP x pipe (catless)
Cam (I'm unsure which one to pick and what supporting mod's are needed for this, please answer that. I would like the car to sound very mean with the lope)
Dynotune Nitrous Kit with bottle opener, warmer, wideband, nitrous pressure gauge
3.42 gears (3.73's better for my application?)
Torque Converter and stall (looking at the vigilante and 3200 stall, correct?)
Tune.


Anything missing/should be changed?

Don't think you'll hit 10sec on 400hp.

Not likely with an auto, but his list of mods might get him into the tens.

Head and cam package? Call several vendors on here and tell them your goals.

And if you plan on drag racing a lot, get the 3.73s, otherwise the 3.42 should be fine... nah, get the 3.73s much more fun...

Be sure to get a good tune. Where are you located?

All you would need is this & a tune

http://eastcoastsupercharging.com/SC600.html

After that, you can add parts to go faster (that's what I did)

He said he wants to run 10s and have over 400rwhp. He listed that he wants a cam and some nitrous... I'm sure he will be fine
