mods for a hotcam I know you people will say theres better cams out there but my car is a DD for right now and im not looking for anything crazy, I know the hotcam kit comes with rockers,springs and all that stuff,will I need anything else to go with the cam? are the stock injectors and fuel pump good enough?? the car should have LTs. 373s and some suspension by then, this is A4 btw,and I know ill have to have the car retuned
Might want some hardened pushrods just to be safe. The stock ones should be fine if none of them are bent and you put them back in the same slots they came out of, but if you have the $ some new ones might be worth it. Definitely get some other opinions though. Gaskets, you'll need lots of gaskets. Intake, timing cover gasket, water pump gaskets, valve cover gaskets, crank gasket maybe? If you haven't had a tune-up in a while, you might consider doing plugs/wires while you have it torn apart. It can save a headache later. The Hotcam kit is nice... I'm enjoying mine right now even though I killed the transmission in my car 3 days after I got my Hotcam kit installed, haha.
Also, looking at your mods list, I don't see a descreened MAF. Might wanna do that, it takes like 5 minutes.

i dont know why people bash the hot cam kit all the time. I love mine and i think it is great when combined with a 2800-3200 stall. I know it is a more mild cam, but it still has a nice lope at idle and runs very well for a DD...

Verdad Gallardo The Timing Cover Gasket Kit has every one for the front of the engine. I got it from Autozone. The Valve Cover Gasket can be re-used if it's in good enough shape, mine was just changed before I got the car. I am running a stock Stall with 3.73's, and have no problem.
