Default What can i do now?

So i bought a Tsp 233/239 cam. Currently i have stock internals with headers and true duals. i am an a4 t/a. any suggestions of where i can go with mods with this cam with a medium budget? i dont know what all will respond well to the install of this cam so i would like suggestions from people who know much more than i do. thanks.

Yank SS3600 or 4000 stall for sure and if you have 2.73's do 3.73's! Will make your cam much more liveable and fun!

what size heads and made by who? and reasonably priced, i know they get pricey and can accept that but not sure i can afford a 2500.00 set ya know? the stall i can definantly go ahead and get. i bout 3:42's will they work? ls6 intake or is it worth the extra 300.00 for the fast? will i also need new rods or can i use the stock ones?

3.42's are fine. IMHO i wouldnt spend the extra money on the fast i'd put it towards the heads. Get a set from Texas Speed or Patriot.

i got tht cam, i got a 3600 stall and 3.73's and im gettin the ported fast 92 mm / throttle body soon. Im waiting on the heads untill i really have enough to get top of the line ones. With the fast and edventually the heads (prolly afr's) itll be a mid 10 second car easily. But with jst the mods in my sig I went the time in my sig @ 3375 lbs raceweight.

Livernois is a great option for budget heads also. Mine breathe enough on my 408!

Definately get a stall and gears. Call TSP back up and get their 5.3 stage 2.5 heads or ask them what they would recommend. Have fun
