Default 2012 GS Engine Mod Idea help

I have a 2012 GS Conv. A6 and started lusting for the new 2015 Z06. After looking at the pros and cons I am going to stay with my GS and do a few mods. I am looking at the Magnuson Heartbeat SC, Calloway Honker Air Intake, Port and Polish Throttle body, 160 degree thermostat, and add boost and fuel pressure guages. I plan to keep the stock Performance dual tip exhaust. I do not plan to race and want to keep my stock hood. I would welcome comments on these mods and any additions I might consider.
