Quick question
Ok so finished up the parts list for my buddy in afhganistan and would like some input.
He bought a 00 ls1 TA A4 and right now it needs a power steering pump and water pump. We are already ordering some performance parts and have a tuner in mind for the tune. So far here is what we have decided on.
First off he has already bought a M6 and we plan on swapping that in.
Going with a full slp (LT) exhaust with most likely the cats taken out (Indiana no smog laws.)
LS6 intake and
LS7 clutch kit
I was going to tell him since we are going to have to get a tune afterwords and we are replacing the water pump I figured that this would also make for a perfect time for a cam upgrade right? Well he plans on down the road to supercharge this car. With that being said what is a cam that is streetable that will work with what we have right now but also with what we are planning on down the road. I really dont see this car ever breaking the 550 hp mark just because its mainly a street car that will see possibly once a week drag strip time. Also the car is about to hit 100k miles... How much would you recommend the timing chain/gears and valve springs be replaced? By the way please chime in if im missing something. Been a long time since I have done a performance build on an engine and I've really only done performance builds on the old school SBC's

If it's about to hit 100k pull the engine and rebuild it with a cam of your/his choice, double roller timing chain, etc. Then f/i it. There's really no point to add a bunch of go fast goodies to a 100k engine, then have it blow up, if he's wants supercharge it down the road anyways.
Nome sayin'?

If your buddy wants to supercharge it then yes, i would forge the bottom end. If not, new bearings and top end.
