If you had $500 to spend on mods...

[gritter99]

Car is a stock A4 1994 trans am
cai
cat removed
160* stat

in other words.. stock

I got $500 extra from my taxes left to spend on the car, what would you spend for basiclaly first $500 on modding your stock lt1?

[Lucky SOB]

A decent set of longtubes and ORY

[Fbomb]

but you might have a little bit left on top of that. And I'd watch very carefully for plug fouling if it isn't tuned for that 160* t-stat

[white96TA]

headers/ catback, TB flow booster, subframe connectors, strut tower brace all good ideas

A great bang for the buck item that will work with your CAI is http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=22100

Mikes approach seems best to me

Not tuned, can I mess my car up running it like this? Haven't even drove it 30 miles sense installing new tstat. Put it on a few days before storing and didn't drive it much then.

It will be fine mine has been in for years without a tune and is running strong. but I am picking up a hypertech which will tune it in this year

Shock tower brace....?

I dont think that is on the top of the list...

[Joedashredder93]

new exhaust for sure!!! maybe a shift improver kit, and a complete tune up.

[MunsterZ28]

i vote longtubes! trust me do them now before you put them off for way to long like i did.

[Darren]

for sure exhaust headers y pipe and catback, or leave stock catback and get a electric cutout!

[1BADAIR]

ridings torque convertor
