Seems like there are lots of options..
Does the price in the link include the core?
Whats your power output and what other supporting mods you got?

Thats almost the same setup I'm planning to run (already got VR intake and full Z06 exhaust system). I assume this is A6? any TC?
How do you like this cam and the driveability?

M6 and the drivability is like stock, nicer sound and lots of torque. This setup will also pass the sniffer test here in California. It would take more than this to get those numbers with an A6.

As you know, power varies depending on supporting components and available octane to support tuning..
...here's an example of a max effort as compared to Jim's daily driver/91 octane setup...

Lots of vendors sell ported 243s and they can make very good power.
RPM has posted up the highest numbers I've seen either on here or LS1tech. Very impressive build.
Texas Speed also has some good builds out there with some of their shelf grind cams matched up to PRC 243s.

Charlie is correct, I wanted stock like manners and reliability, I planned to drive cross country and I would have no hesitation to do it. 15,000 trouble free miles since I had these mods done.
No, but PM me...from time to time I end up with some really cost effective 243 cores

On a separate note, sent you a PM regarding Dubai.
