Stock cams can make 500+hp. No need for them. With the work you have on this car, look into an eliminator turbo setup (GTRS series for example). You'll need rods long before you'll need cams.

Skip the American Racing stuff too, and go with proven parts for these cars. If you cheap out on them, they'll bite you. H&R/Bilstein for a static drop, ST for coilovers. Neither is particularly expensive and they'll treat you right. Look in the B5 subforum under the A4 forum, and read the new owner sticky post - it'll give you the ABCs.
