Default Bolt on???

Ok, I have a stock 1 week old 2011 GS A6 with NPP. I have been thinking of going with a S/C. Due to my desire to do autocross and HPDE events I am starting to think that the increased temps could hamper that experience. So my new thought is, To add intake and exhaust mods. My question is What all mods can and should be done without messing with the NPP and what type of performance could be expected from this? Please give me advice on who makes the best for each part.

I am then thinking of adding a 150 progressive shot. Just for the drag racing

First off...just to be clear...you're not worried about voiding that spankin' new warranty are you?

If so, options are limited. But just for the fact that you're even thinking about a SC or N2O generally means that you care very little for the warranty.

Correct, I am not worried about the warranty.

I'd spend my money on tires, instruction, track time, and repairs (they say 1 mile at 10/10ths in a race car is equivalent to 1,000 miles of wear on the street). You'll out-lap ZR-1s and Veyrons with this strategy.

Thank you, I plan to do this. I would like a bit more power for the street and strip.
