Which setup would be better for me? I have an 02 Z28 A4. First off, I live in Alaska so its only driven 5 months out of the year in 50-80 degree weather. What I want out of it is to have roughly 400whp and be streetable. Ive been looking at full bolt ons, along with a cam(torquer and magicstick series to be specific) and possibly heads. Ive also started looking at turbo setups, both rear and front mount. Based on what Ive seen, cost wise they will provide roughly the same power for the same price(with a custom turbo build, of course). Id like to be able to take it to the track sometimes or maybe autocross it. What would you all consider to be more streetable? Keep in mind, all summer Ive been using a race bike as my DD so my tolerance for streetable is somewhat higher than most. Thanks for any help in advance.
Your going to need a converter and cooler no matter what setup you go with.. It also depends on your budget.. NA I would buy some tfs 215 heads.. A low 240 high 230 cam with over .600 lift.. A fast intake.. And a 4400 converter
for 400rwhp id say full bolt ons, for a cam id say somewhere between the 02+ z06 cam and the 228/228 cam and for heads just plain ls6 heads or mildly ported ls6 heads all wit a 3200-3600rpm stall
i think a cam only, bolt on setup will get you 400 easily with the right cam. those torquer cams are nice for street strip, but if you want wild and can put up with it you could also go with the MS4, Polluter, Vindicator, Trex, or a number of other crazy cams available.
that and a big stall will give you pretty good track times and alot of fun.

Well, NA is probably the least of all of the choices on maintenance and having to check up on things. It is truly the easiest as well. Full bolt ons, and a good cam can crack 400 without any problems.
