I'd say build a drag pack rear suspension, SFC, cam, LT's/ORY, LS6 intake, P&P TB, LID, DR's, and n2o.
Biggest bang for the buck IMHO. You'd be surprised how far you can spread $ w/ help from LS1tech.
e.g.: I got my LT's for $200, my ORY for 100, and have gotten two (rear) sets of almost new nittos for $140 and $150. TB can be done for $40. LS6 intake 280-350, LID for $40, etc.

Basically everything i said minus the Cam. and maybe pullies.
(Oh and if it's auto add convertor and shift kit.) If not you save a few hundred $$$ at this point.

You don't have enough to do forced induction properly, so do all of the quality bolt-ons and let us know how much $ you have left over. We will then tell you how to spend that as well...

if i could do it again..... suspension first: shocks, springs, control arms, panhard bar, strut brace, torque arm.
then after that, depending on what the future goals are, tranny & rear. then if anything's left, bolt ons. then you got a badass, reliable, fast car.
if you want to go boosted in the future, then plan accordingly.... dont waste all your money trying to get there fast.

All can be used on a DD. I did it on my Z28 that i had for 3 years, in that time i put over 50K on it w/ no problems.

used d1sc procharger kit, some bigger injectors and fuel pump, some used headers and a tune. plenty of hp, drives exactly like stock, real easy to make 500-600rwhp later with heads, cam, meth and all other bolt-ons that you can buy used on the forum for less

Well if it's an A4 then start with a stall and lower gear, that'll make a real difference. M6 then you'd better upgrade your clutch and maybe gears. Then I'd spend the rest on what the guys said. Lid, headers, suspension and maybe nitrous

i just recently put 4.10's in my car and really like them compared to the 3.42's. Gas isnt really much different since i just throw it in 6th when im cruising at like 45 50 and it keep the rpms low. It might hurt you a little if you do a lot of freeway driving. But if you do get stickier tires and do any kind of launches youll break the 10 bolt really easy. But the 4.10 are so much more fun to drive.
