Need mod advice
I have a stock ‘13 GS. I think it’s about time I put a cam, headers/x-pipe in it. I am going na for now because I don’t want to spend too much money on an A&A. I am wondering if I should go with a stage 2 or 3 since it’s my daily. I’d like more power but don’t know if the stage 3 would be bad for a daily. Also what is a good price for labor on the cam? I called a shop and they told me 1600 then a few days later said 2000 + 650 for a tune. What range should I look for in a shop for cam labor and a tune? I’m unsure if I want a cai because I’ve heard they don’t do much, also not sure if I want solid motor mounts? Overall I still want to daily it and occasionally take it to the drag strip. I ran 8.5 1/8th does anyone know what kind of gains I can get with this setup? Any advice helps, thanks

Is the car an A6 or M6? If an auto, you will want to stay with a mild cam unless you change to a higher stall converter. If using as s daily, I personally would stay on the smaller side to allow a tuner to give you better street manners. Good luck in your research and keep us posted on your decision. As far as price, $2100-$2600 sounds about right depending on if you change springs, etc.

I suggest calling the Guerra Group and have them spec you a custom grind that fits what you want the car to do. These guys know their stuff, or call some of the vendors~~~~~~>and solicit opinions, Tony Mamo comes to mind, as well as Ragin' Racing & Vette Air, Carlos is good people, there are many others, in my opinion less is more for a daily driver. More reliability, more driveability...
