Default Head/Cam Question A4 inside

anyone with an A4 running a nice head/cam combo on their daily driver have any recomendations..... im thinking about doing the head/cam route ( maybe spray later on) and im not really sure where to start. Like i said my car is an A4 and my daily driver, so i dont want anything too crazy. I used the search, but im mainly looking for peoples setups / opinions who have head and cam on their DD A4.

Just going by your sig...if you plan on staying n/a I'd get a TCI 4400 convertor and some 3.73s to start with (thats whats in my car). With that stuff, the F11 cam, longtubes, and a good tune...the car has gone 11.85@115 on nitto dr's and is perfectly streetable.

The car has been retired from daily driving and a set of prc ls6 2.5 heads and a custom grind are on the way shortly. If you decide to go this route above, my F11 cam will be up for sale in the next month or so...

Had a MW4200 in the car before the tranny swap in Jan. Daily drove 3/4 of the year with the rest of the mods. Loved it and was a nice setup (still is). Gas mileage went to hell but it was expected. As long as you have a good tune for the car, it shouldn't be much worse then when the car was stock.
