Depends on what you want to do with the car? A4 or m6? If a4 maybe a stall. Intake upgade for sure to LS6 or even better fast 90/90 since you are a 98. If you want it to handle look at Sam Stranos stuff. Does exhaust include LT's cause that's where to start for power upgrades? Give us a little more info.

Based on that statement, you need to buy a modded 07 z06.

Get a torque converter. A friend of mine has a 3500 with stock exhaust. He has some mickey T's on the back. His car will launch like crazy on the street.

agreed...a good stall with a tranny cooler.

do some research on what stall works best with turbo setups...not sure if it changes things.

the gears will help.

you can do simple stuff like suspension. lower control arms will help the launch, as will a $15 torque arm bushing.

curious why you got an exhaust (assuming cat back) if you're planning a R/M turbo? i would have just gone for a $40 cutout, or muffler swap for the time being.

watch the for sale forum...you can find things like suspension, intake stuff and ported TBs all the time.
