The cam and stall converter seem a little aggressive for street use.

I would get more of a slit duration for nitrous. Like a tsp231/237 or a 227/231. And if you say well im not going to spray much then go for a bigger converter. It sounds like to me your going for 10's.The bigger converter and n2o friendy cam will help. You will need a really good tune with those cams in an A4.

A TR 224/227 cam would work nice, I know most cars with your same mods are hitting 400 at the rear wheels with stock heads + the driveability of that cam for an a4 is very good..

ran accross a LS1 car with the tsp231/237 cam over the weekend in a 6/spd and he was putting down 400 RWHP and like 380TQ with every bolt on poss and edit-car sounded and ran great! very lopey even at a 900rpm idle!!

Very big cam for a daily driver, but that is mainly opinion. It all depends on how much drivability you're willing to sacrifice. .600" lift is a lot for the standardly available springs as well unless you want to be swapping springs fairly often. Since you're going to be spraying, I'd go with a smaller cam for daily use and depend on the spray for your top times.
