Lid, Intake manifold, throttle body, headers, catless y-pipe, Good tune and good motor should net you close to that. im puttin down 340 with mods in sig. SAE corrected.

Yeah, 350rwhp is actually kind of an odd goal. M6 bolt-on cars(lid, intake, headers, cat-back, and tune) are around 340 and cam-only cars start around 380 and go up from there. Drop those numbers some for an A4 and 350 is even more odd.

long tube headers, catless y, cat back, LS6 intake, lid, and tune would be good power and not too expensive. if you want to go fast your going to have to get a stall converter.

i did all my big mods at the same time but i still think the stall made the biggest difference.

Motor just hit 80,000 and lid, ls6 intake,headers, and true duals would that get me to 350? I want to wait to mess with the throttle body. I heard a 90/90 is the best thing out there.

not for smaller motors,,,,id wait on the 90/90 till you decide to go heads / cam,,,LS6 intake w/ a ported TB will get you where you need to be, and you'll get to keep a grand of your money.

That will get you right around 350 with a tune. If your only goal is to get 350 you don't need to mess with the FAST, it won't hurt anything but the gains you might see won't even come close to justifying the cost. Just go with that mod list and add a ported tb and you're good to go.

Would a cam alone give me more than 350rwhp, if so I'll buy that first then when do the lid,ls6 intake,headers and true duals all together. what cam is a good deal and performance?

Swap that around, you will want all that stuff before you put the cam in so you might as well do the bolt on stuff now, then the cam if you want more. Besides, I highly doubt even an aggressive cam woud get you to 350rwhp breathing through an LS1 intake and running a stock exhaust.

the 350rwhp is a minimum and thanks I miss understood. My real goal is to beat goats with minor mods. (exhuast,airfilter,ect...)

A 50 shot is pretty safe.. people run 150 shots without problems. All you really need is headers, y pipe, catback, intake ls6 intake, and tune. But all that will cost about $1500
