While it won't give you more HP, a new gearset will be a huge seat-of-the-pants difference in acceleration. Sounds like you're on the right track with the headers/cutout combo.

If you're an A4, go with 3.73s. M6 go with 4.10s.

That should be good for another 10-15rwhp. Once that is said and done, you could get a 160 degree thermostat, install an EWP, and get a tune. That should cover all the bolt-ons. Then you could concentrate on a 3000+ stall (if auto) and gears (3.73's for A4, 4.10's for M6). Next consider getting some suspension mods. LCA's, PHB, some better rear shocks, and a stiffer rear sway bar will go a long way to help you hook, not to mention some sticky tires. Then...heads and cam.
