Default Heads/Cam Package suggestions wanted.

My 02 SS A4 wants to go faster. She keeps telling me that, so I , of course, want to oblige.

Her current state...

Blackwing Lid
LS6 intake/block
BBK Longtubes and Y
No cats
SLP Catback
CME Exhaust


I have no idea what kind of power she is putting down right now. Not a clue... lol.. I would guesstimate maybe 330rwhp?! Maybe im off, who knows. She runs great though...

Anyways, I would really like to put about 440rwp down, and then spray 100-150..

For a grand total of <drumroll> 575ish hp.

So, Will a head/cam package get me there? If so, make this dummy proof for me. What package?

What I want to do.

A friend of mine has the following setup pushing 412rwhp.

comp cams custom ground 234,236 .580 lift 110+4 lsa cam
243 heads Port and polished with a 5 point valve job, 7.400 trickflow hardened pushrods,duel titanium patriot gold valvesprings with retainers and locks with a ported LS6 intake/oil pump and ported TB.

so start by porting that LS6 intake or upgrade to a fast 90/90.
And pushing that much power I'd recommend going with forged internals. It would be a waste to sink that much cash into a motor to have it throw a rod on the first pull.

you can easily do a TSP head/cam package that will get you into the low to mid 400's. do you drive this car daily? how are you concered with idle and what not?

First get a good 3600 stall TC in the trans. You're going to need one anyway to optimize you drivability and performance with a cam.

Id do a custom cam, a badass set of heads and a fast intake. Getting 440 isnt the easiest thing to do in an a4 but its been done. Just remember that a stalled auto isnt the most dyno friendly so going for a set hp # might be hard.
