Guys are going to want waaay more info: Like do you have an A4 or M6, if A4 do you have a converter, what gears, valve size on the heads, any programming, exhaust mods, how smooth you want it to run, etc. etc. etc.

I would not spend the money unless you are going to make a significant jump in cam. Thus I would go for the TR 224. To help maintain the same idle quality I would select the 114 LSA, although it is only a slight help.

Hopefully you put on some good springs when you ported the heads.
