Next Mod for a good HP increase?
I was thinking of LT headers as the next logical move,then port and polish,cam after that.Would porting and polising of the stock heads be a good move? My goal is for about 425 RWHP. LT

I would do the LT's next, then a heads/cam package afterwards. I dont know what your budget is but personally I wouldnt port and polish the stock heads. I would get some aftermarket heads. I dont know if you have an A4 or M6 but if you have an A4 I would do a torque converter and some gears after the LT's if not then go to the heads/cam.

Do not waste time with the stockers and just slap on a blower and you will get the HP you are looking for

LT headers then a heads/cam (or S/C install) will get you a nice increase. Don't overlook new rear gears too if you want better acceleration.
