Question what should i expect?

car:2000 TA A4

my currant mods are

.pacesetter LT's
.Off road Y
.Magnaflow Catback
.LS6 intake mani(no egr)
.autolight plug wires(7mm)
.ngk tr55's
.whisper lid
.smooth bellow
.k&n air filter
.slp bolt on SFC's
.rear LCA's
.strut tower bar
.3.73's and TA performance cover

speed inc will be installing and doing a dyno tune on my car
parts
.Cam: 224/224-.581/.581-112 LSA
.Chromoly push rods 7.400" stock length
.Comp 918 springs
.Rollmaster Double roller chain
.GM oil pump(ls6)

basically just wondering what kind of differance it will make.ive never had a car with this much work done as far as performance mods the most ie ever done is the basic bolt on stuff never gone into the motor. i know a new TC is recomended and should be done but it will just not now..gotta wait for
more $$$ i also have new wheels and tires for it those are waiting till the snow is gone for good. they are TT2's 17x9.5 and 17x11 combo
thanks for any input have a great day,Mike

usually m6s are around 400 rw with those mods so i'd say you'll be around 370- 380 rwhp.

With your exhaust it should lope great. Hooker catbacks muffle cams pretty effectively.

You should really get the heads done at the same time, it'll really save you some $$$.

Get that new TC with a trans cooler installed, and put some nittos on those TTII's and hit the track.


I'm quite fond of the TTII's myself

i hope they are not sumitomo htrzs or traction will be non-existent.that's what i have and even rolling into the throttle in first with stock gearing is like you're on ice.great in the rain though.i second the heads,right now the mildly worked 243s with stock valves and a 918 upgrade is still only 1000.00,you should be putting down around 410 rw then.

nope some guys on a local forum said that it was a good cam and that they have had experiance with it..i know nothing about it and what to expect..ive never done anything this far in depth as far as power for my cars..all the other cars ive had in the past were just full bolt on...
