Mods so far on my 99 T/A:

3200 Stall TC, 3.42 gears (on my A4), air lid, 160 t-stat, ngk plugs, tranny cooler, Magnaflow catback, Diablosport Predator

Will be installing soon:

Hooker LT's and Y-pipe

Leaves me with about $3000 to spend. Any recommendations on what it would be best to spend on? Car is a daily driver in summer.

id say put some money into the suspension. they say you can pretty much count on putting $1 into the suspension for every $1 you put into the power. frame ties for sure, maybe some BMR's(~$200). then id suggest some some lower control arms(`$100-200) and a nice adjustable panhard rod($100-150). if you want to make power, youve got to control it and get it to the ground. shocks and springs make a big difference too. the stock shocks suck ***. but you couls also do heads and a cam. im getting my stage 2's done for 900 bucks with the valves and seals included(i already have springs, ret., etc.). a cam for maybe 400 and a dyno tune for 450 and you should still have money left over. this is assuming you do all the work yourself of course...

AS, AP & patriot all could sell you a heads/cam kit for under 2 grand...depending on if you install it yourself or not that would be about the end...if you do it yourself and just get tuning done youll have $500 left over for the new gears or suspension work as mentioned.

Underdrive pulley, FTRA , ported throttle body, Ls6 intake , and a nice cam ,Thats around 1000bucks if you shop around and look (Used)Or you can get a set of Pat Per heads and cam for under 1800.00 and still have money for the ls6 intake and ls1 edit tune.

I would leave the 3.42 gears in there.

ET streets on stock rims for the track would be a good idea if you dont already have them.

Set of skinnies if you drag race a lot

Are you talking 3K Canadian or US?

suspension mods and more boltons (LS6 intake, underdrive crank/overdrive alt pulley). I have alway felt that head/cam swaps should be done AFTER everything else is done. Otherwise you won't get everything out of your head/cam setup and when you finally do put all the "other stuff" on, you might find that you wish you had a different cam (larger).
