Timing Belt time...performance/suggestions while car is under the knife?

Getting timing belt done..any suggestions on some easy (non-labor intensive) mods while the mechanics are in there? Maybe APR Bi-pipe, or new cam? Looking for reliability and some HP increase at the same time. Too much to ask for? Let me know what you guys think.. thanks..

upgraded (RS4) engine/trans mounts

trans mounts labor doesn't really overlap the timing belt's, but they're a nice complement to new engine mounts, which do overlap.

2nd on Seals and gaskets! P-U!

the APR bipipe is awesome. btw, you may need to shear off some of the radiator fan fins with a pair of scissors that way they dont bump after the install
