the only thing you would have to change is the springs....and those two cams wouldn't be too big for your application....acctually they would be just about right to match it...and of course a new tune

is the fuel system stock?
you may need to work on that just to be safe.
400 rwhp is quite a jump from stock like the factory fuel system was made for
just my 2cents
thanks

I agree with SLPHawk300, if you want to keep it streetable, and have 400+ rwhp, I would suggest saving your pennies and getting a supercharger. And would probably suggest getting a different cam for that supercharger.

alright thanks guys, im checking out the 847 on summit right now, its in stock and it looks like a good price, i'll most likely do the work myself. my fuel system is pretty much stock with the exception of my SVO 30lb injectors. so far my shopping cart contains
1. GM847 Camshaft
what springs should i look at and what else?

no retarded question at all 
i did the tb swap, descreened my maf and ported it, i also opened up my intake holes on my intake to accomodate my 58mm tb, those are probably the biggest free mods of the bunch. I also run SVO 30lb injectors if that helps, if you'd like to know mod for mod my setup just lmk

The funny thing is bro...i still do that to my own car And the best part about my car, in my opinion is that it doesn't look any different from any other 97 WS.6. But once you turn her on...that is when the 
starts : ) Best investment i ever made was that motor build.

MY a4 car dynoed right at the 400 mark n/a , heads are the most important thing , need to have them looked at and see how good they are? The Cam is a baby and you could easliy upgrade there. get some exhaust to. My car is easy to DD , the tune is key!

Here's my mods
Lt4 head
hotcam
Lt4 intake
power pulley
cat back
52mm TB
other mods are not motor related
3.73 gears
built 4l603
transmission cooler
Can i get to 400rwhp like this? Can a new cam get me there? This car IS a daily driver, so please keep that in mind.
Thanks guys!
