Do you have a stall if A4 and gears wether M6 or A4? If you answer anything other than yes then you need those parts first.

I say this as someone who made the mistake of camming before gears and stall.

higher gears keep you in the high rpms more which is what you want and need with a big (high rpm) cam.

With 3.42s you have an all but useless 6th gear in the car, go numerically higher in the rear and get a much harder launch and still maintain highway manners by being able to actually use 6th gear. 4.10s are a good match to the .50 OD.

Like I said I made this mistake, the car did not run any faster till I gave it the supporting parts it should have had first.
If you don't believe me go ahead and repeat the same mistake so many of us have already made. Might as well stop coming to the forum too because if you wont let us help you learn from our mistakes the forum is useless to you anyway.
