In your opinion which would be a better option for the mods i already have?

I am already in the process of porting the heads, gears and looking into what suspension i i want to go with right now. So those mods are already in the work.

Nitrous would be the best bang for buck. A new LT1 kit was just released last week by NitroDave, too.

Just so you know that kit has been around for a year or so. I would grab the rims or K-member, get all you can out of the car NA then get a kit.

^+1, do a k-member while the car is in piece so you don't have to do it again

It might be a little more difficult with an A4 but you just have to jack up the engine and unbolt the k-member from everything.

I already have a msd-6al and i know i need a window switch for the nitrous. Will one work with the 6al? And also what else would i need to buy/install besides the parts that come with the kit?

i will be buying the others things as well but i really want to get the car back on the road. It has been down since may of last year. My plan is to find someone that can do a dyno tune on the car and i will eventually get nitrous on it so i figured i might as well do it before the tune. I will also be buying 36* injectors and a 255lph

Can't see the kit. But a new upgraded fuel pump is always strongly recommended. TR6 plugs would be good if you plan to spray often.
