Default Which mods

I have an 07 A6, Z51 w/ ZO6 brakes, Borla exhaust and was wondering what performance mods you would do for $2500-$3000?

I want a bit more power that I can actually feel.

I live in CA so I need to be careful with smog BS.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Default Do it all at once.

Hi,my suggestion to you is to save up your money and have all the mods you wish to do at once.While the engine is torn down you can have the work done and save on labor of tearing the engine apart each time you wish to add a performance mod.You will also save a lot of money tuning your car each time a mod is installed.I know1It can become very expensive.Rod:fl ag:

Diablo tune ? ? Please .... get a real tune.... this way you can get your A6 tweeked with a nicer shift.. and he can squeez a few more hp out of the car. you can also do a small cam to get a few more hp and still pass smog..

Halltech, GT-11 cam, under drive pulley, Yank S/S 3200, Z06 manifolds and mid pipes and a good dyno tune. You'll be able to pass smog and visual and have a very consistent mid 11 car that will be a blast to drive.
