You'll see more seat of the pants feel from either longtubes or a gear if manual and a stall if auto.

Didn't see where you said what else other than longtubes. I'd say an LS6 intake if you don't all ready have one.

I'd second the LS6 intake and ported throttle body to go with it. Higher stall torque converter wont add hp but it will make a the car accelerate much harder down low if its an A4.

LTs and full exhaust, ls6 intake pp tb. they all add up. you will be shocked by how much full exhaust makes a huge difference.

nitrous.

the ls6 intake is a waste imho. if you don't have a cam, forget it. save your money and put toward a real intake. apparently the ls6 intakes are made of gold. they still sell for over $300 regardless of age or use/mileage.

Wrong^. Ls6 intake woulld be my 2nd or third favorite bolt-on. I gained like 2-3 tenths with ls6 intake. Great mod for the money. My second fav bolt-on was probably the tune. + a "real intake" like fast is gonna cost you out the ***. Like $850 out of ur ***

i only gained .1 and 1 mph with it. i bought a new unit from slp with no egr. it was a waste as far as i was concerned. i could've used that $350 on a tq arm or something else that would've done me some justice.
