Need mod advice!

I have a bone stock A6 I'm looking to get 400-430RWHP I'm thinking of going with LT's with cats, mild cam from LG Motorsports, CAI, FAST intake and tune I'll probably let LGM do the work I just hate having to drive 500 miles to their shop in TX. I want to have everyday drivability after the mods.

Well if you get a cam, your idle will be raised, your stock converter will try to stall at or near idle. You will go through brakes quickly.
You will pick up more ET by swapping converters than by adding 40 HP.

My list of mods are good for at least 50 rear hp. 30-38 hp from the RAM AIR ALONE.
