Default Winter mods list hows it look

So i figured out all i would like to do during winter while my car is down. Actually it will be down at the end of august more time . Ok I plan to get If financial situation allows.

Stock block 75k. Not rebuilding yet.
Pacesetters LTs to true duals with custom X pipe. Havent decied on mufflers yet. Any ideas.
MSD opti 8.5 wires. Havent decided on plugs yet.
AI 180cc Street/Strip LT1 Cylinder Head Package:
cc306 cam or AI custom grind.
AI Fully Ported Intake w/ Corrected Geometry
GM performance parts LT1 timing chain kit
BBk 58mm TB
TCI 3000rpm converter. till tranny goes then M6 conversion
3.73 stock 10 bolt till it goes. Then moser 12bolt with 4.10s
Custome tune havent decided were any sugestions.
New lifters Hydrualic or solid roller. Any sugestions for thoses to.
36lb injectors

I will address suspension mods after i finish engine.

Thats pretty much all i would like to do during down time. Does it look like I might have missed something or should add something. This will be a street car very little track time just weekend driver. With those mods what should I expect in HP in my A4 I am trying to shoot for a low 12 street Daily driver.

You should call Lloyd Elliot, or advanced induction and ask them about the heads and cam setup.. They should point you in the right direction on some of that..

For the winter I would say definetly get the LT's and some kind of cat back me personally I think true duals are not worth the amount effort and money required but thats just me. Then instead of building the engine I would say build the suspensions. What good is all the power if you can't put it to the ground or make a turn. Good luck with your build man.

FYI For the tune I went with Ion @ MadZ28.com He had good service, and I was pleased with my tune albeit basic, he tunes complicated setups as well. His customer feedback seems to do the talking.
