mti 2e heads w/ x1 (230/2270 or g1 (228/232)
afr 205 w/ g5x1 or

If you got the money to do it, I would personally go with the AFR heads and the 228/232 cam or quite possibly a tad bigger (230/232?). Definately get some 3:73 gears for the A4. The G5x1 cam IMO is overkill for a daily driver.

By no means overkill. But as I mentionned in the PM's do you bolt ons first.

FM 11 >228/230 .576"/.595" 112/114 lsa
G5X1 >228/232, .588/.574 -112/114 lsa
MTI G1 >228/232, .588/.575 113 lsa

All of these cams are in the same power range, G5X1 and MTI on Comp Cam lobes and Futral on Cam Motion.
