I voted for the JPR stage II heads. Joe's got him a new runner design that flat out kicks ***.

TEA

I also like GTP & JPR.

IMO the GTP's cost more than their modest advantage (if any) is worth over other name heads.

GTPs and a TR 230/224 seem to make tons of power according to many here.

I have GTP and love em so that was my vote.
As for the cam, if your not worried about passing emmissions go big...
I'm running the "PIG" cam in my A4 with no issues at all so far. It even idles well at 900rpm.

Well I am pretty sure i want to stay with the cam I have. I am running a VIG 3600 so getting to peak HP will not be a prob. Even then I am soon to be going to a TP4000 or is it PT4000 ?? hmm i forget. I think the TEA heads look great. For $1799 it is hard to beat. The GTP are awesome but I don't think they are $700 more awesome then the TEA. I am kinda tossing around going with 5.7 or 5.3 heads right now. I cna have the 5.7's milled to achieve the compression gain of the 5.3's and seems I will have to with the base circle of these aftermarkets cams. Any input on this?
