Let's see... you forgot the gigantic intercooler!  I was looking at some
pics of the IMSA 200q and the intercooler on that thing is amazing!
Anyone have the specs on it????

As for your cam question:  This really doesn't answer anything but...
Carl Jerritts who somehow got a connection with Audi Sport (bypass valve,
oil pan etc.) is still running the stock 5ktq cam.  He was obviousily
going all-out with the motor but didn't hesitate on leaving the cam!  Did
Audi do a good enough job matching the cam to the engine?  Anyone?
