If you already have DR's, then I would definately say its time for a cam.

Cam would complement the intake/TB very nicely.

Yea thats what im thinking. Think ive seen u on the O&A site, use to listen to those guys before they got dropped from 94.1/92.3..Always been a bigbird fan though and i finally got sirius a few years back.

what about suspension and 3.73's
Already have some suspension and thought about the 373's...maybe down the road, but the 342's are pretty good.

4.10 is pretty extreme for a A4 street car. Good luck with that!

OP - I would definitely go with a cam swap. I'm going to do the same thing once the weather warms up again.

I'm thinking a nice size cam plus a good tune would be my next choice if you already have some suspension stuff done.

Oops didnt see he was A4, yeah you might want to tone it down a notch then. I dont even think a 3600 stall would be plausible with a Trex cam. RaptR cam is pretty decent as well, I love thunder racings cams and there selection. You should atleast check em out www.thunderracing.com

OK well can your rear end handle more power? Why not do a 12 Bolt swap then you can beef up all you want.

Start saving for a cam, and tune.. Also, i hope you have a cooler for the trans, since your running a stall?
