Default After Cam.. what to do.

ok im fixin to put in comp cam. and LSX manifold. decent size cam 228/232. i would like sum suggestions on what i should do next.. should i save up more money and buy heads and rear end.. or should i just buy NX 100 shot. and purge kit? will my rear end be ok with 100 shot and the mods i have.. i probably wont do to much more to my car.. becuase it is a daily driver.. but i thought 100 shot would be ok, without paying 1500 for a new rear end?

suggestions are appreciated

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm still on my stock rear and I just ordered a NOS 5177 kit and will probably shoot about a 100 shot on it. I will be saving for a rear though

yea.. well i got 3.73 stall and now cam and manifold.. heads are to expensive to do... with install and everything so i thought get a lot of power.. by buying an NX 100 shot kit.. and purge cuz i like the purge that will get me a lot of power and not be as expensive as doing heads.. plus im a daily driver..

I always thought the rear would survive as long as you dont have sticky tires or drop the clutch at 6500rpm all the time. I'm goin to get my cam installed the shooting for a 75shot for now. Well a clutch will probably come first.

im also on an A4 so i heard its alot harder to break the 10 bolt. but i just dont know if doing 100 shot will make it suffer.. ive just done most bolt ons and now cam and intake.. so i thought next step would be 100 shot NX.
