What are your priorities... what are you looking for in mods ?!?
It looks like you've taken care of some of the handling... I would go a step further in that aspect and install a Strut-bar, and go to polyurethane bushings.
It looks that if you want more mods i nthe power aspect, I suggest you start thinking of a 12-bolt before doing so, just to be in the safe side and to avoid surprises with the stock-rear... then you get some HP !
My 2 cents (get control, than get the power)

What sort of Hp increase will i be looking at with the addition of a Bellow's Kit and the Ported MAF. What do you guys think about Slp Ram Air.

Definitely gearing..by far the best basic mod you haven't done yet! It will not net you additional HP/TQ but it will put you in your powerband much faster. Feels like a 30rwhp increase. Great street light to street light weapon

Might want to consider FTRA (Fast Toys Ram Air) if you do a lot of freeway driving and aren't in the rain very much (increases the chances of sucking up water in return for sort of ram air induction). I have it and around 80mph, throttle response is better. FastToys
FRA (Free ram air) is also a free mod.
Fernco is a cheap bellows.
Home ported MAF ends is a cheap alternative to a Ported MAF.
There are many more I believe but these are the only ones I can think of right now.

4.10s with M6 and 3.73s with A4. However it all depends on how you plan to mod your car in the future. For example, with an M6 with all the bolt ons, heads/cam and nitrous...4.10s would be too much...you'll have to shift to 5th before crossing the traps.

I have a M6, and plan to get Slp High Flow bellows, Slp ram air induction, and Ported Mass immediately and headers in a year or two. Will the 4.10 gears be a good combination with these mods and the ones i already have and will my rear end hold. Also if do get the 4.10 will i need to get some mods done or will just changing the gears be enough.
