I would do LT headers, 3000 stall, and a custom cam.

Rear gears. 3:73 are the recommended ones. A good quality stall like Yank or Vigilante would be also a good choice. Some where between a 2800 and 3200. Long tube headers are a good idea but you would not be emission legal in some states.

For headers you really cant beat the price of pacesetters, good quality too.

Agreed with the 3: 73s unless its not your DD then i would go a little lower.

Maybe look into some RR's, 1.6's

LT headers are what a lot of people recommend. Choosing a cam by LSA won't do any good, got to look at duration also to get the amount of overlap, then choose.

With just a cam swap, with all the parts needed like springs and some new rockers, you can see anywhere from 310rwhp to 350rwhp. Depends on the size cam and you may need some bigger injectors.

I just bought a set of Pacesetters Race Headers, CC306, 918s, pro-mag 1.6rr and 36# accel injectors. Hoping for close to 340rwhp through my A4 which should be close to 425bhp.
