Need help with winter plans.
I own a 2014 Stingray non z51 a6 with 72k miles. Clearly I drove it a lot. Lots of charity events, cruises, shows, on top of it being a daily driver except during the winter. My goal is to have a great car to show off at the events. Also, a good cornering car and something I can take drag racing a few times a year.
Current mods are kooks 1 7/8 headers and kooks x pipe into stock npp mufflers. Diablew tuned. Stage 1 front splitter. Side skirts. 19x9.5 fronts, 20x11 rear.
Over the winter we are installing the ECS procharger system. I dont want to run meth, but am open to the idea of flex fuel. I would like to run the MSD intake and a bigger throttle body. On a "conservative" tune hitting close to 650 horsepower. Should I upgrade the radiator and fans to help cooling? Are there any other parts I should be looking at it keep this car on the road as much as possible?
Car is lowered slightly on stock bolts. Would sway bars be a noticeable difference? Some extra handling is all I'm looking for, not a track car.
