are you using one or two of those 61mm?
if your only doing one and wanted to keep the price down you could do a s400, cablebandet has one of those and is running some high 9's and it only costs like $650
that turbo should support allot of power provided you have the fuel and tunning for it

I would go with AFR 225's and pick a decent single pattern 230's duration cam. A single will probably be cheaper if you're worried about costs. Also I don't know how much boost you're looking at running but the 36'lbers may be a little small. Also the 4.10's might need to be swapped to 3.73's or 3.55's to help spool.

That was from my current N2o set up. I run a 28x12.5 tire with my 4.10's, I should be good for 140+ @ 7000. I am switching to a 3.73 when I ditch the m6 for a a4. I figure Ill need at least 60lb injectors with a boost ref. regulator.

Sounds good to me, but definetly change the cam and if you want to turn up the boost get the CR down a bit.

I will be lowering the compression with the new heads. Im trying to get it around 9-9.5 to 1 and I am definatly changing cams, The one in the car now is a nitrous cam that comp ground for me. I am not sure if i still wanna crank the motor 7400+!
