This is likely what I'd do:
Do all of your free modifications first.
-TB Bypass
-Cut lower lid assembly
-Remove AIR
Parts:
-Aftermarket Lid (SLP, MTI, etc. etc.)
-Long Tube Headers - Race (no AIR fittings)
-Off Road Y Pipe (no cats)
-Electric Cutout
-Stall Converter (if A4)
You're looking at spending about $1000 on all of those parts - clearly depending on what brands you buy.

yea i've been looking at different websites like texas speed and vengeance racing. what i plan on getting is intake, tb, bigger cam, heads, draglites, then going radial on my z06 reps. What i'm still deciding is on the gears.. what would be the pros and cons of goin 4.10 from staying on 3.70's?
