Ugggggghhhh
K im gettin really stressed out over this subject. No matter how much research I do I cant make up my mind!
K, I got a 97 c5 a4 with a 346ci. So far mods are CAI and LT Headers.
Next step I am doing h/c. I think I already have my cam picked out, im going with the TSP224R which I believe is 224/224 581 581 112 or something similer, its small.
I am on an extreme budget, as I am in college. I want some heads that will flow well with my cam, id put my goal around 400-420 hp but not set on that. I was originally set on Patriot Stage 2 LS6 heads because of their low cost and good results. Then I read about the possibility of LS6 heads and getting close results, but for about half the cost....which made me second guess PP...can anyone help me out here?
BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK HEAD?
What kind of numbers would the PP put up? as compared to the LS6?

The LS1 intake is going to hurt your results. If you can spring for a good used LS6 intake do it. With all the other mods you are planning on doing you'll pick up another 15-20rwhp. Also, I've read that an A4 runs better with the 224R on a 114lsa. The 112 will give you some idle problems. If your goals are 400-420rwhp you will probably need a bigger cam unless you go with a very good set of heads and really tweak the setup. JMHO.
