Valve springs
pushrods
prob get some 1.6 rr's
there's a bunch of little things I could list. When you get closer to doing the swap hit me up and I will give you all the part numbers needed to do the swap
I watched a LE2 Z28 with bolt ons, Lloyds 224/230 cam and ported intake w/58mm pull on a C5 Z06 up about 135. Now that's bad ***!!!!!!!!!!!

sweet ill definitely hit you up to get those part numbers. I should be at least doin the cam in january if i cant afford to do the heads. Im doin a full re do on my 94. I wanna get a 12 bolt but i dunno if i can afford that and then doin a six speed swap along with full bolt ons and some appearance mods and maybe re paint the car. Long *** list but hopefully most will get done.
It's been a long road and a spendy one at that 
But it's been worth it in the end. So why don't you just rebuild your A4 and stall it? That thing with a LE2 package, gears ectc etc would own.

well i have thought about it trust me, but in the end i just wanna have that sixth gear to cruise the freeway which i do alot and i need the most fuel economy i can get out of the car. Plus i dont hardly ever go to the track and i also never get races on the street anymore so throwin in the six speed is just gonna be for the pure enjoyment of rowing through the gears and a full bursts here and there to get up to speed. I plan on eventually getting the le2 package but it will probably be after i get a little civic or something to daily drive.

That's understandable then. I would say if you do the M6 swap being you drive HWY a lot, prob go with a 3.73 gear ratio and if you are worried about gas milage I would prob just throw in Lloyds version of the Crane 227 cam. Good street manors and it would be a nice choice for overall driving. First things first though...we need to get you some headers

yeah man definitely. I live in phx, az and we have pretty strict emissions. I wanna do long tubes with a catted y pipe into a slp loudmouth cat back. Last time i went to emissions i didnt notice them checking under the car for anything like they used to do in my 79 camaro. So i doubt the tools at the emissions testing place even know where my cat is "supposed" to be so im sure ill be ok with the long tubes and the catted y. I have been thinkin about the pacesetter headers cause i need emission legal stuff with the air and egr hook ups.

The hwy's are a little different too..little more crazy then ours here in Oregon. I almost bought the AIR/EGR Pacesetters...good header for the money. If anything, I would get your full bolt ons out of the way. Not that spendy and you will have a new car power wise
