yea i kno, my goal right now is to get it together with out any problems. and get it tuned. i will be getting a stall within the first couple weeks. would a 3200 stall be sufficient? the power band of the cam is from2300-6700 and i believe the low end torque willl help also. thanks and please help

If it is a matter of 2 weeks, IMO hold on till you get the stall because it needs tuned as well. With stall you'll need shift kit and most important a good tranny cooler.

TV3 has 10.5* overlap and will pull on the brakes hard (due to increased idle).
Stall I would reommend SS3600 Yank for the street.

Like said above get the stall at the same time. It would suck to drive with out one. I have that cam and with just the cam and an underdrive pulley I picked up 72rwhp

without a stall you will dyno high. but your car will not perform without a stall. when i did my cam i threw in a vig 3200 and 3.73 all at the same time. but remember stalls, will eat up some power on the dyno, but your car will be alot better with a stall. depending on the stall, your should be putting down atelast 420-430with that setup roughly.

You can't expect to just add the advertised #'s up and that will be your gain. NEVER seen it work out that way. Since you are A4 I would say in the 80rwhp range is more realistic.

Also condition of shortblock, dyno calibration etc.... will all have an effect on the #'s. Track times are a better measure of power imo....

I've engine dyno tested that combo many times & those two components easily make over the 100 flywheel horsepower mark. If you'd like give us a call & I can find a copy of the last stock short-block we did. I have numbers from installing those two items.

We're also finishing up our engine dyno bay so we could even throw your long block on there & test the heads cam combo on the engine dyno.
