Lightbulb Getting ready for LE2 H/C swap, need pointers!

Hi all, sorry to be a newbie, but I need some help here. I am getting ready to do either an LE1 or LE2 H/C kit on a LT1 A4 T/A. I am all bolt-ons so far, LT's, ORY, GMMG, cai, and 3.42's. Heres is my goal, I am building a better than bolt-on, but still lightly modded DD. Basically heads/cam is as far as i wanna go. I want to keep the stock bottom for sure. So any advice as to which kit to go with, as well as any other supporting mods, I'm all ears, and waiting. I have concerns like valvetrain, injectors, TB, and my stock A4 being able to hold up to around the 400rwhp mark. I need some serious advice here, and I know this is the right place. Thanks in advance!

LE1 & LE2 are both streetable packages... it's best if you talk to LE himself with your plans and goals. Better yet SStrokerAce a member of this board might be able to offer some advice. Also you might wanna think of a rebuild on the trans if you have more then 80k miles my tranny blew with only 350RWHP.

Thanks for all the advice. I am going with the LE2's I think. I am just gonna run the A4 till it goes, and put something real under there. Just for the record, what hp/tq a the wheels can I expect?? My stuff now (all of it), LT's, ORY, GMMG, 3.42's, ported 54mm TB, stock injectors, & stock WS.6 ram air w/ K&N. Everything I'm about to add, LE2 h/c swap, a supporting valvetrain, and to top it all off, PCMforless 94-97 LT1 PCM set up for EVERYTHING I have. Thanks for all the help, thats my last newbie post. hehe.
