Well after talking to texas speed about the MS4, I can answer the 1st question. Yes they have to be flycut. Id say the duals would be your best bet and the stall sounds ok.

1) Need to fly cut the pistons yes or no. No

2) How hard is this cam to tune just to get it to the dyno. On a M6 no tuning needed to get it to the dyno. On an A4 you may have drivability issues but with the a stall and your 3.73 gears you may be able to drive it to the dyno on the stock tune.

3) Prc Dual springs best bet. Any Dual Spring rated to .650 will work however some will require that you shim them. Prc should be fine. I have Patriot golds and have had no issues but I haven't put a lot of miles yet

4) is the Ls6 intake enough. Yes, but Fast is better if you are trying to milk every last bit of performance out of the cam

5) 3800 stall good stall to run with this set up You need to talk to TSP about it as they will now the best set up for the cam.

6) Anything else i should know i want to do this swap bad nothing comes to mind
