Default Hard time deciding??

I am either going to buy a cam kit, NX MAF kit, or suspension. Maybe the combination of the two. What would you guys do first? I have the mods in the sig already. I am going to probably do something next week. I am gonna try to get to the track this weekend to find out what the car runs as is first. Thanks in advance

Looks like you have most bolt-ons done...I would go w/ a cam kit but that's just me. Obviously with nitrous you get a huge bang for your buck.

Yeah, gas would definately be cheap hp. I am really kinda leaning toward the cam, so the power would be there whenever. And I would like to get it as fast as possible NA. But don't know yet. If I did that, I would have to get some tuning software also. Hmm...can't make my mind up

If you want the power all the time and not at the push of a button go with a cam, gas is great for cheap horsepower if you dont have a big budget!

I would go with a cam....if it's not enough power for you, then you can eventually throw the nitrous on top of it

Just remember you will need a tune for a cam, so you could run up the tab really quick. I would say go with the cam though, then add the gas..That's what I did.

Suspension gets my vote.Theres no use in making any power if you cant get it to stick to the ground.If you can afford a cam after the suspension that would my next step.Just remember that a cam is gonna cost around $1000 and thats without a tune if you install it on your own.Heres the order I did mine sus...,nitrious,then cam.Then the results were 12's,11's,then finally 10's.

get the cam first then the suspension. you are an a4 so suspension is not a big factor compared to a m6.
