Default Thinking of a new motor....

Im thinking about replacing the motor that is currently in my TA. I dont want to go huge or go big. Im thinking of a Forged 347ci with maybe a 150 maybe 200 hit. Maybe a mild cam like a 224 on a 114. The car is an A4. And of course a set of mild heads. Anyone have any recommendation with who does good quality work? Where have you had your motors built? The car is my DD as of right now but not my only car. But I want a good tight motor. Dont want oil consumption problems, no oil pressure problems. Just like everyone else. So who did you use?

Built it myself. First time. There's no special technique to turning a wrench to torque specs.
