Default Anyone running an A4 with the following?

Hello

I am considering installing a h/c in my 97 C5. Currently the car has 3.42's and a SY3500 TC. The heads I am considering installing are ForceFed HP LS6 Stage 2 heads. http://www.forcefedhighperformance.com/FFHPHeads.htm
along with a cam I have not yet determined. Here is a list of cams I have researched:

1. 224/224 .581/.581 112
2. 224/224 .581/.581 114
3. 224/228 .581/.588 114+2
4. 228/232 .588/.575 113

Does anyone in southeastern mass. or up along 128 in Lexington have an A4 with the following mods? If so, would it be possible to get a ride in your car (if its still on the road this winter)?

Some other mods I have are Kooks LT's, Borla Stingers, Transgo and Vortec Induction.

If you want a package that works you can't just throw a Cam at ported heads.You need a Cam suited to the flow/size of the heads.That is why you see company's selling H/C packages that they develope.The chances are they tested there setup to work together.

Look around and see the result's.I know TTP,ESP,Cartek and myself have H/C packages that work together.You will be happy with a nice matched setup

i have TEA 1.5 heads and a small 224/224 .563 114 cam in my A4 with a 3600 stall..

as far as power it put down 399.9 for the dyno buffs out there. With some other bolt ons and etc the numbers probably mighta been 410-415 but im not a dyno freak.

a 224 cam does work well with just about any heads out there, but like said above you need to look at the head flow numbers on the intake and exhaust and go from there.

If you want a good deep idle, then the 112 LSA will be best. If you want a decent sounding idle thats a tad easier to tune, then the 114 is better for the A4

mine went 11.5 with just the 224 cam and bolt ons
hopefully if should be around 11.0-2's with the heads and other bolt ons ive done since
