Best MS3 supporting mods just installed a ms3 in my 98 formula a4. Wondering the best intake/tb combo and gear set up would be best. car isn't a daily driver for to much longer. already have 4k stall, and long tubes. also do you think a mail order tune will do?

gears (possibly 4.10 in your instance)
Looks like you already have a Fast intake, so maybe just a P&P TB.
Did I mention Nitrous is a good supporting mod for that cam?

yea i was gonna do the 90/90 and some 4.10's or 3.73's. but no i have a ls1 intake and stock tb. i put the fast 78 tb on there and the car wants to shift @ 4500 WOT??? just gonna get the 90/90 some gears and throw it on a dyno for some tuning.... i just seen the price on the tsp ls6 heads, thats a must have i think.

have you upgraded the rod bolts??? you might want to do that soon or say bye bye engine, b/c 98s have crappy rod bolts and cant hold up to the high RPMs you will be in with that big of a cam.

hell you can always go bigger and get a LS2 or even better a LS7, now that would be a great engine to have. but from the way you seem its like you want your motor to blow lol.
