Question What do you guys think of this set up???

So im about to take the next step on my build, my current mods are
99 A4 TA
yank ss3600
ls6 intake
slp lid
p&p tb
pacesetter longtubes
3in y-pipe
magnaflow catback
shift kit
3.42 gears
tuned by frost

Im about to put on a custom comp cam 228/232 .588/.595 @114 and a set of stock 243 heads which im planning to mill .015 over. The heads also came with a set of comp 918 springs. Ill also put on supporting mods, chain, oil pump etc.. What size pushrods will i need?..

More importantly what do you guys think will be the result hp and street drivability with this set up? I really want torque everywhere, not just after 4000 rpm like a lot of cams out there, will this do the trick? (I had Damian's results in mind when choosing this cam)

with that size cam and milling the heads, you should have great low end tq and drivability

Sounds like a really really good budget street combo.

Make sure you know how old those 918's are and where they came from.

Driveability is mainly in the tune so as long as you have a good tuner that set up will be perfectly driveable. I would expect to see somewhere between 410-425rwhp
