I was thinking of putting in the 503 cc cam(or the 306 can't remember which is smaller) and at that time replace the distributor and put in an ewp. The odometer says 112xxx but I'm pretty sure it was turned back.

What brand 1.6 rr should I get?

You won't be able to do a cam install for $500-$600.

My vote goes to gears as well.

My idea was to do this before getting the Cam.

So which gears? 3.73 or 3.42?

3.73 at least. 4.10s is a part but most people don't like them in an A4 car. A friend of mine had them in his A4 Z28 and it was a BLAST around town.

Gears for sure. The car will feel much better! General rule usually is Auto=373 6speed=410. Good Luck!
