Do you have an auto or m6 tranny, If yo have an auto, then you might look into beefing up your transmission, and if you have an Auto, then you might think about changing your rear gears... moving up to a 342. That will give you "off the line" power. A comp torque converter (2500rpm) or so will put more HP on the ground.
Sometimes you have to balance performance against everyday driving... These are great cars,.. but do we want to go so far overboard in the "MODS" to make them something that they were not ment to be. I think that unless you plan on spending 80% of your time at the track, keep your car as a comfortable, High Performance road car.
Spending a bunch on a "cam" , "heads" , etc ....WHY ? .... With the intake..Exhaust..and tune you have done, your car should be "Ripping" down the streets. Look at your driveline and suspension to put the horspower to the rubber. Go there first...

your 100% right. this is a daily driver. thats why im not looking to do those mods (heads, cam etc). i have an a4. plan on putting a transgo shift kit in it a little down the road. i put one in my f-body and loved it. for the time being though my shift pressures where increased in my tune and i can feel the difference. i plan on going back and seeing if they can make it double downshift easier, similiar to the shift kit.

Transgo shift kit? What is that and what does it do?
" I plan on going back and seeing if they can make it double downshift easier, similiar to the shift kit". Again...what will this do?
I have an A4 and am curious.

a shift kit makes the car shift much harder. drastically changes the ride. a double downshift is lets say your cruising in 4th and you want to pass someone and open the throttle (say 3/4 wot) the car shifts to second and you really take off,m rather then just 3rd.
