Winter Mods, Need some info
I drive a ’97 C5 A4 with current mods listed in sig. I have the money and my mind is made up that I want heads and a cam. My choices are:
Heads:
PRC 220cc 5.3L Stage 2.5 CNC Ported Heads From TSP
Cam:
Magic Stick 3 Camshaft From TSP
From what I can tell with talking to people and reading on here is that this H/C package would work well for my car and make some good power. Is anyone running this current set up? Any recommendations either for, or against this set up? I’d rather not have to do any fly cutting.
Now I’m assuming with this cam ill need a stall, is this correct? I have read were some say you defiantly need a stall and others say with a good tune you don’t. The way I see it is ill need a stall eventually anyway so I might as well get one now probably in the 3200-3400 size range.
Onto the fuel, I know ill need larger injectors than the stock ones with this set up. I plan to run a 150 shot of nitrous also so I should be in the low to mid 500 rwhp range, would I be able to get away with the stock fuel pump or am I taking a risk?
Does anyone know of a good installer/tuner in MN, ND, SD area? I live in Fargo ND and I am willing to drive a little ways to find a good installer/tuner.
I know this is kind of long but I appreciate any comments back, if you do give suggestions for other products please give a reason why, Thanks.

If you're doing a wet shot.. then 42's will be plenty. If you're going to do a dry shot, just get the 60's. Either way.. a BAP will be needed.
As for the stall.. Great for 1/4 mi but man do they suck when you hit an autocross. I didn't like it on the street that much either.
