Well... after Dixie, it appears that my A6's gave up on me for day 2. I knew I was coming in with older tires, but I thought I would have at least another event or two before they lost any competitiveness.... (that is my story and I am sticking to it)
With this being said, I am having to make my decision of STR vs. BS in my AP1 much sooner than I wanted, so I am seeking opinions on what STR goodies to buy with my A6 tire budget (~1200 bones)... with me already having the following setup:
...949Racing Wheels (currently using AP2v1 rears)
...R1R's (full tread)
...TC Kline valved Koni DA's (supports springs up to 700lbs)
...Custom hollowed 1.375 Gendron FSB
...K&N drop in air filter
...Typical BS Alignment
...Invida Dual Catback with OEM resonator (but going to make it modular to remove right after the resonator)
...Mugen SS Wing (with extensions http://www.ronacmotorsports.com/products.html yeah, I know.... I already own the SS wing and wanted to leverage what I had)
...MaxQData MQ200-RT DAQ
My car currently weighs:
685 689 Front
681 709 Rear
Total 2764
50.43%
Thoughts and opinions welcome.

Just installed my K&N FIPK and FlashPro. Mid-range throttle response is a lot better, really hard to tell if there is any power up top without some back to back dynos, and my friend with the dyno currently has it in storage with no place to put it currently, maybe get some time with it later this season.
Matt - which base tune did you use? I'm on the AEM V2 base tune, but all of them had higher VTEC engagement than I wanted, so I dropped it to 5k on the AEM V2 base tune. The ignition tables looked pretty mild to me, so there is probably some optimization to be had, but again I'd need some time on the dyno to verify.
