If you are an A4, I would get a converter for sure, 3200 vig's are always good to start with.......shift kit, etc.......still have some cash left over to maybe install a gear in the rear........

Hooker LT's, any kind of cat-back, lid, shifter, and if any money is left over get a good clutch. IMHO






Peace,
Craig.

4.10 gears, SSRA, Baur TB, ASP underdrive pulley and a tune.

But if you like to launch hard then I would highly recommend just saving a few more dollars and getting a moser 12 bolt. Adding a whole bunch of power in a M6 isn't gonna be much good if you blow up the 10 bolt shortly after.

Good Luck
