Default What's Next?

I'm seeking ideas for the next best step(s) at adding a little horsepower to my '07 A6 Coupe. Just looking for bolt on at this point. Here's what I have so far. Melrose headers, NPP exhaust, VaraRam, 160 deg stat and The SLP Diablosport Predator tune. Not looking to do cam and heads at this point, though maybe later. Any suggestions will be welcome.

betweenvets, What type of controller did you use for the NPP? Are you sastified with that setup or do you wish now you had gone with another aftermarket system?
