So in a few weeks im getting:

-Kooks long tubes
-Offroad Y
-Comp 228/234 .58 .59 112lsa
-Springs/Rods
-P.I. 3200 Stall
-Trans Cooler
-Oil Pump
-MSD wires
-555 plugs
-K&N filter

Some of that is just basic maintenance because as far as I know its never been replaced and I figured, couldn't hurt. I already have a lid, SLP cat-back, Smooth bellow. My current K&N is shot, that's why im replacing it. Anyways, any opinions on other stuff I may need to look into/replace?

Sweet! Sounds like it will be a fun build in the garage, although from the looks of your sig your running a loudmouth exhaust. I hope you like waking the dead loud, lol. So where in Arkansas you live. I lived in Cabot for 25 years. I live in Olympia Washington now thanks to the Army.

whats a "mm". And I live in Jonesboro..Originally from Wynne. Yeh, I know its going to be loud. I may switch to a Corsa if it gets unbareable but for now, loud it is!

Motor mount. Keeps you y pipe from banging your floorboard. And I think you are good for power lol. I would look into trying to keep the tires on the pavement with Lower control arms and look into a torque arm. You're going to want to upgrade the suspension with all that ******* power

AHH motor mount. I'm not good with all these abbreviations! yeh I figure suspension mods will be soon..and probably a new, sigh, dare I say, Transmission

Why a new tranny....t56 anyone??? Oh and get a tune

its an A4, it'll prolly crap out on me. I've been tossing around the idea of doing an M6 swap. I just don't know how hard/expensive that would be. And I'm getting a dyno tune also, just forgot to list it.

not worth the time/money and i highly doubt youll blow a 4l60e with the power your gonna have. Id also look into an intake of some sort, ls1 intakes choke out cams and can cause you to loose potential hp. an ls6 or a FAST is worth the investment, youll also want to invest in a good set of springs. dont forget too that you will need a whole gasket set, things like header gaskets shouldnt be reused.

dont replace your K&N, just get a wix filter. just do some research and youll understand. when you do the cam swap use any regular oil and filter, change the oil after 500-1000 miles and then put in any oil of your choice.

just my 2cents.

My trans blew first run off the dyno after my cam and stall.. so you may want to consider a trans build.

What kind of tranny did you go with? I've seen lots of companies on here that sell em. Seem to be all good quality.

Jonesboro huh? I dated a girl about 10 years ago who went to college out there. I hated driving up there every weekend. Was like a 2 hour drive.

PerformaBuilt, RPM, and FLT are 3 of the more popular ones around here. All have an impressive parts list that go into them.

I don't understand why you would put a Wix filter in a high performance car; K&N and Airaid make amazing filters with million mile warranties; the filter will last longer than your car and provide more power with still great filtering characteristics.

I say do the M6 swap. Transmissions are pricey though-I got my rebuilt T56 for $1,200 dollars. If you have the know how and the money, I think you will be very happy with that decision!

Your new mods sound awesome and I bet you're gonna have a blast, and congratulations! Be careful

1) cost effective
2) K&N style filters do not increase performance on a fbody type setup
3) oiled filters like K&N can cause MAF readings to be incorrect
4) Wix is a very good brand paper filter

V68Sweep

Well, cost effective? Our drop in filters are like $30 maybe, and then you never have to pay a dime after that.
And why would they not increase performance on an fbody setup...if they increase the amount of air that is being brought into the engine, then more power can be made.
And what do you mean MAF reading? Are you referring to the rumor of the oil coating the air intake sensor?
And yeah I know Wix obviously has a very good reputation.

I'm not trying to say you're wrong, just discussing

Please don't start the k&n vs paper filter debate lol. I've read all on here and its Pretty back and forth. But most people say the k&n lets in more dirt and the oil coats everything blah. I was thinking of going with that amsoil filter..no oil, but its also cleanable with compressed air so no need to replace all the time. Any thoughts?

First, congrats on your mod list.

Depending on your long-term goals, you will be amazed what a set of nice heads will do to wake up what you already have going in. If you decide to go with heads, don't do it without at least saving up to swap the intake too -- the LS6 is the budget option and is effective; the FAST products are considerably more expensive but would net you more gains up top.

Other thoughts: A gear swap that compliments your cam and stall (likely 3.73's in your automatic). Sticky tires.

After all of that, you should be putting enough down to tear up the 10-bolt rear end and perhaps the tranny! HAHA! Those are really the only two big "pain points" you'll have to address in the future.
