Default really confused!! on a head and cam setup

hey guys. ive done all the searches i possible can do. i really need your guys help on doin a bad a$$ head and cam setup for my daily driver street a4. full bolt ons. the stall im looking at is a 3200 stall. its all street no track. not trying to rip 10's. should i run:

mti 2e heads w/ x1 (230/2270 or g1 (228/232)
afr 205 w/ g5x1 or
afr 205 224/581/114

im lookin at these setups. i really need lots of feedback on which route would be best and make sure i do it right the first time and not waste money. i would like to make atleast 415rhwp....thanks...

If you got the money to do it, I would personally go with the AFR heads and the 228/232 cam or quite possibly a tad bigger (230/232?). Definately get some 3:73 gears for the A4. The G5x1 cam IMO is overkill for a daily driver.

By no means overkill. But as I mentionned in the PM's do you bolt ons first.

definitely. thanks alot predator. you got mad knowledge. i mean at first i really wanted to just be safe and run afr and 224 cam just to be safe. but i hear lots of people saying go bigger. if my car is all for street and track would i need to go bigger? or would i be happy with it.

FM 11 >228/230 .576"/.595" 112/114 lsa
G5X1 >228/232, .588/.574 -112/114 lsa
MTI G1 >228/232, .588/.575 113 lsa

All of these cams are in the same power range, G5X1 and MTI on Comp Cam lobes and Futral on Cam Motion.

Nothing but good things to say about the "budget" MTI Stage 2E's & X1 setup.

Drive my car everyday, accross country and everywhere in between... and, It's ran 10's
