Default Need mods HELP!!!!

I bought a 96 formula with a 98 TA body (see sig) about 6 month ago. I am thinking of building it. I want a fast street car. It's only driven about 2 times a month so drivabilty is not a huge factor. The car is an A4 with 3.23's.
I am going to do long tubes, cam and springs, rockers?, port the stock heads, convertor and spray a 150 shot.
I want a lopey Idle and to spin to around 6000 rpm. I dont know what cam or springs to use. Any help on the above mods would be great.

What is your budget? Are you doing this on a tight budget? For heads and Cam I would go with Lloyd Elliot. Pacesetter Long Tubes are good. If you have the money there are Hookers as well. Do you have emissions tests? 3.73 gears and a stall will Really wake the car up. Make sure you get some good drag radials as well. I like the M/T ET Street Radials.

I plan on keeping the stock heads and just porting them. Any other cam suggestions?

A custom grind cam is going to be your best bet. That way you can get the most out of the heads and vice versa. Give Lloyd Elliot or Advanced Induction a call. They both make great heads/cam/intake packages that compliment each other.
