if you go used, send it off to get it cleaned and inspected.

i havent looked but how much is a new one compared to buying a used on and getting it cleaned

a new yank ss3600 is $675. i would stay with a good one like yank if i had to do it again.

you also need valve springs, pushrods, a good tune is a must if you go that big in an A4, a tranny cooler for your new stall, and its a good idea to go ahead and replace oil pump and timing chain. cant forget gaskets and bolts as well.

so how much should this all cost me?

to get the most out of it youll need:

headers-pacesetters w/ y= $500ish
intake- lid and ls6 intake =$425ish

you NEED to do those before you think about any cam, let alone bigger ones

TSP camshaft package w/ PRC dual springs & pushrods=$699
oil pump=$100
timing chain=$30 from dealer
camshaft bolt and gasket kit=$43.99
stall=whatever you find a used one for, yank ss3600 is $675 new
tranny cooler=$60
tune for that cam in an auto=$500
various stuff usually equals out to be a little more than you think, i started out trying to go cheap and have since ended up around $4500. best advice is do it absolutley right the first time
