100K- ms4/4400 VIG/full exhaust
105K- 410s/ported 90/90 setup
110K- PRC ls6 stg 1 heads
Sold it at 116K with plenty of passes, I drove the car extremely hard. It was a DD every single day for those 16K miles. Never even had a dead battery on the car.
DD that cam will be dependent SOLELY on the tune.

your gonna lose low end with that cam no matter what ,a 3.73 , in a a4 is not gonna do it for you , that cam needs something bigger than 3.73s, i know in my m6 it was 4.30s on spray ,4.56s cam only , i love my ms4 but i will say it was a dog on stock gears down low, if your worried about low end you have the wrong cam, thats just my 2 cents man. now a t rex set up right ,with some spray will pull like crazy. is this your first ls car?the reason i ask is because so many think the biggest is the best , but just a big cam doesnt make a fast car, also i have a ms4 as well ,and could dd mine easy, tune is key but you will have some cam surge and bucking in the lower rpms, more or less depends on the tune and how the car is set up ,good luck man , lemons knows his stuff ,listen to him lol

With a Trex I recommend 410s.

Building a stalled auto and wanting "down low power" is kind of like pissing in the wind.

That has been about 4 years now so no.... IIRC I had 75$ in the rear end girdle- used... 100$ or so in the gears new in box.. and I want to say install/parts and labor was around 175$. Don't quote me on any of that however.

In an A4 low end doesn't really matter... No matter what your setup a 4400 converter is going to make it a dog at 2K rpms.

Times in Sig..
226/228 .588 114
Ported 317 heads
Stock ls6 intake
Ptc 4000 converter
373s
1 3/4 lts kook ory magnaflow had a LOT left to pick up here
Underdrive pulley
Suspension
3500 or so race weight 2200 da
You don't need a large cam to run quick times, its in the complete setup. The other white car times was in a car that had race weight of 3250 or so, so 300# liter.. ms4 cam ported 90 setup dumped exhaust 410s etc etc didn't have a tune and spun petty good but in same da only ran .1 quicker and 2mph faster.
