Sounds like a good list, I would take it a step further and put the mods in order and group them with what you want to do together. Only thing you might wanna research a bit more is the stall, A lot of guys go with a 3600 or bigger on DD's and claim its fine, but its all personal preference.

Are you trying to go more for drag racing or autocross? Seems like autocross to me lol, id take out the strut brace and the brake stuff unless it needs replaced and buy fuel upgrades.

yea im between the 3200 and 3600 not sure what im gonna do cause i do DD it and i rarely go to the track more of a street car. I do have the list in order on my comp, well in somewhat of an idea order and grouped. The list is subject to change but its the general plan i have for the car then possibly in the far future if im not satisfied a mild H/C combo lol

Injectors + fuel pump. Depending on where your wanting to go with this car I would get you a set of ford racing 39lb injectors I prefer those over FAST because they flow almost the same as the 42lb but they are quite a bit cheaper and go with either a TRE fuel pump or a walbro 255lph and then you should be safe to around 550-600whp

Why the 3.73 instead of the 4.11 gears? Personaly i think the hawk pads are over the top but thats just me. Looks like alot of goodies! Might want to look into tranny mounts in with all of that as well

I would not worry at all about fuel upgrades for that list of mods, nor for anything I see in his sig.
An internally stock LS1 with no power adder should do just fine on the stock pump and injectors.
The '98-'00 flexplate is stronger than the '01+ plates that have a bad reputation. I would just leave the stock plate for a '99 car.
3.73s + 32-3600 stall will have significant traction issues on normal street tires. Plan on drag radials at the very least for any decent track passes.

yea idk about the brake stuff im just tired of squeal and shitty pepboys stuff making so much noise so i figured it may be worth it. and IMO for a daily driver A4 4.11s are wayy to much. Also I had thought about tranny mounts before but after researching it many people say that they vibrate horribly so idk about them.

I currently have duralast gold ceramic break pads from 'the zone' and they never squeel or have any brake dust. I think they were 30 bucks I would definatly get them again or recommend them. Yeah thats what i figured on the gears, also I didnt see you were an A4 thought it was a stick. I havent replaced the tranny mounts but the owner before me did when he did the moter mounts, i dont know when those go but might as well do them too if there getting old
