what do you guys think of this combo? just wantin to get some input on the head/cam combo i got picked out. its for a 00 ta a4. 3.73 gear. already has longtubes and ory and exhaust and lid. planning on a semi budget build. i'm thinking stage 2.5 5.3 heads and ms3 cam. deluxe bolt and gasket kit also. new timing set and oil pump while i'm there also. car has 110k. from what i've read ptv shouldn't be a problem. i also intend to upgrade intake setup and fuel system in the future. but it should be ok for now i hope. any input? dyno guesses? thanks

forgot some things. this car is mainly weekend driver. possibly one day a week to work. occasional fun track runs. i also didn't didn't mention stall choices. i'm open to ideas there too. i was looking at tci and thinking 4000 or so. i really appreciate all info and opinions. i would like a powerful car but still streetable. i know more upgrades are to come but i think this will get the ball rolling.

Stall- 4000 and do yourself a favor and stay away from TCI and Fuddle. Think Yank, Circle D, Coan, Vigilante (Precision Industries) and there are others. I have run a yank for three years in this car and a Vig in my old LT1 car and they have both been GREAT!!!

I would skip the MS3 and have a custom cam spec'd by someone like Pat G or Predator Z. You won't be happy with the MS3's lazy low/mid range power. My buddy has that exact combo and he's yanking the MS3 out right now in favor of a pat g custom cam because even with a pt4400 stall, it was an absolute dog until 4500+rpm.
