Default Lets Talk Heads and Cam Package with an A4

I have been pondering the Heads and Cam Package for a long time now,reading in mags and boards.I would like some input on this Package from MTI on my 99 ls1 with auto tranny and 3200 verter.This is what I want LS6 Stage 2 Heads and the X1 Cam whitch is 230 227 @.05 on a 112.I read about A guy that has this set up in GM High Tech mag.This thing Made 445 HP and 402 TQ @ the rear wheels How do you Guys think my car will run on this set up?Oh he also had a 100 wet shot to make the numbers go to 555hp and 558 Tq.Not bad for a 500.00 investmentIts got me thinking....Let me know your thoughts Please
TIA
Scott

Sounds like a nice package, is that cam +4 to keep the powerband down for your A4?

Check out the customer rides section

That is My 99' LS1 with MTI LS1 Stage 2 heads and X1 cam thru an auto. that is also with the LS1 intake...NOT the LS6...so you know I'm still choking off power. Plus, my transmission has 102,000 miles on it so I know it's slipping some on top.

Can't say I am dissapointed with a 102,000 mile daily driven A4 that has over 400rwhp. :-D

Jayson's a great guy to deal with...I've been very happy with my results and service.

I have the 112LS cam on my Auto w/4degree's ground in. You would NEVER think that it's such a big cam in my car...even w/the AC on it idles like a kitten ready to pounce.

Mti heads or TEA 1.5 5.3L heads with the G5X1 (I think that's the designation) cam are making some incredible numbers...that would be the only other combo I would recommend if you're going for POWER.

Let us know what you decide...it's always cool to see what kinda decisions are made and why...
