Where to start on a 2002 Firehawk
ok so you got the lid and basic suspension already handled
ive been moddin my A4 Z over the last few years
my best buys were the stall (3400 and a BIG! tranny cooler ), gears ( 3.73 ), and exhaust ( long tubes bullets and dumps ), those gave me the best bang for my buck and saw immediate results i could definatly tell the difference immediatly.
others that helped w: asp pulley and ported tb and all the free mods and a tune up w/ better plugs ( ngk tr 55's ) and wires ( msd )
now im getting it all tuned in... i also just did heads and cam, fast 90 and nick williams 90 tb upgrade.
w/ just the tuning work im noticing a huge difference as well!!!
dont forget the tune !

I say you try to make it look as stock as possable and don't hurt the value of the car.
Port the TB, pulley, descreen your maf, Cheater cam, get a pt 4000 yank, a 3.73, and a elct cut out. Cal it a day.

IMHO, I'd start with a big stall (and possibly a tune) with all the free mods'. If you car was not equipped with the Blackwing lid, I'd pick-up a lid. If you car didn't come with the SLP Dual-Dual, I'd find a catback (assuming you don't want TDs.) Depending on if you are going to DD the car, I'd leave the gears alone (because I don't think SLP cars came with 2.73s; my brother didn't gain much of an advantage in his 60's and 1320's with his 3.73s over my 3.23s, and he had a little bigger converter.) Some LTs would be nice depending on your smog laws. And if your car didn't come with SLP suspension, I'd thing about going through it.
Congrats' on the new car!!!

In that case, I'd go with full exhaust, ported TB, Pulley, decent stall, and a moderate cam. That should easily give you the power and driveability you want for a good price (since you said no nitrous).
Full exhaust, cam, and gears. If you want to keep it a street car I would stay away from a stall or at least a big stall. Stay low like 2400 to 3200. Pace Setter long tubes are great and pretty cheap. A nice cat back like Borla or Magna Flow. Gears like 4.10's or 3.73's.
(flame suit on) leave it alone it sounds like an unmolested low mileage firehawk. Do a catback, lid, maybe headers and a tune but past that don't hack it up. A car is never the same when it is returned stock as it was when you started.
Yeah, unless the cam is uber small, you'll want a stall converter.
As for leaving it stock, that's cool if that's what you want to do with your own car, but this guy obviously doesn't want to do that, so I don't see the point of the post.

Do you really live in Sweden? I was watching Manswers (on spike) the other night and they found a study to see which country has the horniest girls. They said that Swedish girls are the horniest....is this true man?

hahah this coming from the guy whos got the exact opposite of what he said. I thought it was funny. Nice car by the way.
torque converter, drag radials, headers y-pipe - and a basic tune to recalibrate for the emissions, and converter change.

200km south of Stockholm in a smal place named Linghem.

No i don't think soo. Most of the girls here are just the same as in other countries.
