with a 6speed, 4.10... no questions asked. You've got plenty of gear to still get great gas mileage, you'll get to the point that when you are not racing you will start in 2nd. I miss that setup the most.


If it was an A4, id say go 3.73.

I'd stick with a cam like the Futral F-13 or F14 with a 112lsa and not the High lift.

IMO, Regardless on what cam you go with keep the intake duration no higher than a 235, and the lsa to 112 or less.

do you want to fly cut your pistons ? .do you want to change your valve springs every 10k ?biggest dose not equeat to the bestest .a big cam can be a turd out of the hole ,if it is not part of a well thought out combo.

get dumps they are very loud and sound amazing plus they are emission friendly as well! Well in Tennessee they are idk about the rest of the states. your gears depend on your cam choice and what kinda gears you have in your transmission IMO. because you want everything to match up right and complement each other.

Properly ported 241 heads are a great head without spending a ton of money. They can break 400rwhp pretty easy with an aftermarket cam long as you have the exhaust system to back it up.
