Default Starting stock again! What to do first?

Starting over again for the 3rd time. I've always done cold air, catback, pullies, then gears. Any other ideas for better gains at the track? I've though about suspension stuff- but it just doesn't make you feel like you spent the money on anything while street driving. It's my daily driver. Thanks for any good ideas. Oh yea, I'm a motor only kind of guy.

If its an A4 how about a 3500 convertor, a tranny cooler, and some nittos?

withouta doubt, nittos and stall w/ tranny cooler. get WAY more out of that in ET and SOTP over any other bolt on.

Just installed slp cold air lid, slp ram air, and slp smooth bellows. Can definitely feel that. What subframes are awesome but super light weight being that I drive the titanic?

I'm just repeating what someone told me. He was going back to boltons because he didn't want to put a cage in. He said if he had to do it over again the first mod would be his 12 bolt with some gear. That's how these stock motor cars ET's are so high. No gain on the street though you do get some piece of mind knowing you won't detonate your rearend next time at the track.

Its a 6m. Slicks, skinnies, air lid, full exhaust, pulley and gears. Subframe connectors are always the first bolt on IMO. Being a 99 you will need to upgrade the clutch and slave to a z06 minimum.

Yea, that would be awesome but I don't have that kind of jack. May be looking for used hooker long tubes or hpp3 and 4.11's. Either one would be great.
