Default Wanting to mod my car

I have a A4 98ws6 which I want to mod. I have a set of MTI Stage 1 Heads laying around, so I save some money there. So, what I'm wanting to know it what cam, converter, headers I should go with. I do like to drive it on the streets but it is not driven daily. With that being said would you guys please give your opinions. Thanks in advance!

Get some LT headers, opinions will vary but i say the QTPs. cam- maybe a TR224 or the TR230/224 both are really sweet. as for converter, maybe a yank SS 3800. thats funny b/c all of that is what i am one day going to get.
