IMHO the intakeand exhaust wil not give you anything that you can really feel...just something small on the Dyno.

Re: LS6-LS1 swap (CJS)
CJS...4.10's on an A4 seems a little radical for me considering that this car will never see the track...I was thinking about going to 3:42's. Really...all I want is some more juice to pass quicker on the roads. Thats why I was thinking about the LS6 upgrade and perhaps a mild cam. I guess that with 4.10's I would really be up there in revs at 60-70 MPH, which may not be desirable for me in an A4.

I agree with you.
My car with the Vortex package, X-pipe, Borla's, Stat & Wires & Tuning is running close to 315 RWHP or 375 HP (on a PDA Dyno, 20% train drive loss). If you use an HP & RWHP calculator (www.smokemup.com), my times are also consistent with that; my best 1/4 mile is @ 110 (I could probably eek out another 1-2 mph). I'm hoping that the intake and LT's get me close to 400.
