Default Small mods parts list, what you think?

alright i've read alot here since i first join and got alot of knowledge on what i'm aiming for, so here it is

FM1-F11-112 FMS Cam 228/230 .576/.595 112LSA
520-2254 LS1 Camaro Hooker Headers 1 3/4" tubes with 3" collectors
350-5202 Rear Panhard Rod Edelbrock
620-20140 Rear Control Arms Lakewood
533-1014 LS1 160 degrees state Hypertech

the last 4 are all from Jegs.com

My question is what kind of TC should I get? (Stock rear end) These are goin to probably be all my mods untill I can afford a big motor and swap em out.
What ya'll think of my list? Missing anything other than the tune? Thanks for everyones help!!

SFC = Sub-Frame Connectors.

TCI torque converter (3000 or 3500). Transgo shift kit, B&M 24k transmission cooler, tranny temp gauge. SFC. Springs, retainers, pushrods, and maybe timing chain/oil pump. All the other power producing bolt-ons, if you don't have them. Nitto drag radials. Whatever y-pipe/catback or duals you wish to hook up to the headers.

alrighty, i'll start searching for them on the web to see what i can find for the prices, what type of spring rating would i need with the cam i chose?

2000 A4 with 721XX miles on it. Stock for everything minuse a strute tower bar and some Eibach lowering springs.

Springs = comp 918's would do nicely. I'd replace the timing chain and oil pump to. At least an LS2 chain from scoggins dickey (sponsor) and one of hte newer style "LS6" pumps based on year and mileage.

Personally, I'd alter that list a little.

FMS F13(not much bigger, but def more power), with their PRC Platinum Spring Kit
FMS Chrome Moly Pushrods
Pacesetter Coated Headers
UMI Single Adjustable Panhard Rod
UMI Single Adjustable Lower Control Arms

I suggest Pacesetter because you can generally find them a little cheaper than Hooker, and they work just as well. I've seen a lot of people breaking off AIR and EGR extensions on their headers, which doesn't lead me to believe Hooker has great Quality Control on their header production.

I suggest UMI b/c 1 - they're a sponsor, but more importantly 2 - Ryan(UMI owner) is absolutely amazing to deal with, and will not let you down. I'd prefer to deal 1-on-1 with a person than a huge company like Jegs.

Thats just my 2 cents, take it for what you will. I have some UMI stuff on my car and an F13 112+0 sittin on my floor. Both companies are great to deal with.
