Cool...at the end of the day, the numbers don't mean nearly as much as how the car feels when you drive the way you like to drive it...if its fun for you then you made the right choices ;-)

i was working out of state when i bought the headers and exhaust, slipped home one weekend and installed them. drove the car a little and could feel a little more power.......back out of town to work. then i ordered cam and springs ect...... slipped home last week and installed cam and drove to the dyno, i got to drive the car a good bit last weekend and ........wow! that b@tch will fly. i am very pleased with the results of all the mods........ the cam is perfect for what i wanted. heck my wife drove it to work today and loves it.

Nice choice crupple! Glad to hear it worked out well for ya. My mods start in a week and the cam I'm using isn't much different from yours. Mine's a custom Comp 230/236 .591/.601 at 114+4. I selected this "slightly" less choppy cam after viewing this video: (My apologies to Blair for using his video w/o his permission, but dang this car sounds good!! - Blair is a member here on CF and I messaged him to find out which cam he used. I'm running an A4 so wanted a smoother idle)
This is gonna be fun!!
