Default help with mods?

I'm still new to the f-body and was looking into doing some mods. I'm not aiming at a 9 or 10 sec car but something with more low to mid range power increase. Any recommendations would be helpful since i've read so many threads but still lost as to where to start.
i have an 02 transm A4 mostly stock.

what's a good lid/Tb size combo?

You already have the LS6 intake so I'd say port the stock TB and go with a lid. Guys make great power with just the normal lids that have been out for years, no real need for the more expensive monster lids they have out now if you're just looking for a 'pick me up'. Being an A4 a stall would would really wake your car up more than anything. Rode in my buddy's stalled A4, different animal completely.

i did read them but a question i had on the lid/tb combo is that i see many different size lids and tb's but if you're stock what's the biggest you can go for a lid without it compromising performance?

If i could start over modding my car this is what I would do
1. Lid - cheap and easy, will pick up a few ponies.
2. LT's, ORY, cutout - very noticable mod, really wakes the car up
3. Stall - single biggest improvement you can make to an A4
4. Ram Air scoop - underrated but very effective mod
