Buy my supercharger kit and heads.
If it's an M6 car, wheel hop will kill the axles. That's about the only real weakness.

LT headers,catback, iat relocate, intake (not cai), suspension upgrade, dyno tune to start . that will put at around 375 rwhp.

Headers, lou's short shifter (or rip shifter if you got the funds), decent tires, and a good tune will make it all that much more enjoyable and is a good start.

you didn't say if it was a M6 or A4, so...

M6 - plan on a clutch, DR's and some suspension work. Headers and tune next, and you will have your self a nice 12 second DD.

A4 - a stall and tune are a MUST! DR's and headers, and you have a real good start.

Suspension- Energy suspension master kit, lovells radius rod bushings springs and shocks, great suspension on a budget.

Engine, I have a streetsweeper HT cam and it comes on the power early, hangs on til 7K and is 100% daily driveable. Headers are a must.

Learn to launch with the IRS...if you do the suspension above skip the drag bags, they're a bandaid for the most part.
