I have a 2000 Transam Vert with an A4, 3.73 rearend, whisper lid (with airbox cutout)/K&N filter, predator, throttle body bypass, 160 thermostat, exhaust cutout. Looking for a combination of great pricing and performance (well who isn't???)
1. What are the best heads/cam combinations
2. What are you putting out with this on 1/4 mile and HP?
3. How much will this run me including installation.
4. Tuning (I'm guessing more than just my predator tune).
thank you

my goals are kind of open depending on how much each option will cost me and what i will gain for it. if i can stay on the cheaper side and reap a hundred plus horses that would be great. am i living in reality by asking this?
and then how much for professional installation? I don't want to start this project and find out i'm in financially over my head.
thanks for the response

You need to put the best possible exhaust you can on the car, and get an LS6 intake manifold. If you want the entire car to stay cali emissions legal you'll have to look at cams designed to work with a restrictive exhaust such as thunder's CheaTR.
