What are your plans for the car? Stages are usually valve sizes, not porting for the record.

A4 or M6? Assuming M6 due to the stock gears statement.

how do you know that it is actually cammed? If you do change the cams, send that one in to get cam doctored, then if it is indeed an aftermarket cam you can sell it for damn near what you paid for the new one. Hydraulic cams are pretty much reusable as long as the lifters don't chew them up.

i have a video of it you can hear that it has a cam but it sounds small

I might not necessarily be small. It could just have little to no overlap.

so what heads do you think would be better 1 or 2.5 are the 2.5 worth 500 extra dollars i might upgrade the cam later.i have the 853 heads could i get over 400 rwhp i have 370 right now.

I was under the impression that the 2.5 heads were for larger CID motors. Is that wrong?

No, you are thinking 225 as opposed to 205.

I only wish I was as good as listening to a car idle to tell you what size the cam is. No one is gonna be able to do that...not off a sound clip. Most professionals can give a ballpark figure on what some of the specs might be. The only way to find out is with the cam doctor or if the previous owner still has the cam card.

i will probably just keep that cam for now but what heads would be better for now and later when i upgrade the cam the 1 or 2.5
