since your an A4 car The best bang to the buck would a stall converter and gears. A 2800-3200 stall and 3.73's will make a heck of alot more difference than headers and CIA and underdrive pullies. I went from a 2400 stall to a 3500 stall a few years back and picked up a half a second just by changing converters. Just my 2 cents.

I went that route. I went from pocket ported Iron heads and a ZZ3 cam with a 1.5/1.6 roller rocker mix to well ported AFR 190 heads and a Hotcam and 1.6 pro mags. For 2500 dollars I gained a whole 1 tenths of a second. I gained the most out of the converter and gear change.

I think pcmforless does a 175+shipping, he sends you a "used" pcm with the new tune on it, and you send your pcm in to him(for your deposit back). or there is a load it yourself one for $75. He custom calibrates the tune for your mods, and wants, so a pre tuned computer is not the best route.

Go to MadZ28.com and read it over. He lays it all out for you quite nicely. There is a FAQ there as well. I was very pleased.
