5 cyl. head mods/cam questions



I think I just made a slight mistake on my exhaust system. My 84 4kq was due
for exhaust work anyway, but I might have went a bit big on it. I replaced
everything from the cat back with 2.5 inch piping leading into a single, 3
chamber flowmaster. The sound is a bit loud, but my problem is I seemed to
have lost torque, especially in lower RPMs. I knew this was goin to happen,
as this is the case when we build and race VW's and put on larger piping and
free-flow mufflers.
 I had wanted to modify the cyl head anyway, as I have an extra one laying
around. I'm hoping to bring back what I have lost due to the exhaust. I
could tell you a dozen places to get decnet prices on VW performace equip.
but as far as Audi is concerned, I have no idea. 

I need to hear input from the list as to places that you found to be
reasonably priced. I also need rec. on cams, nothing fancy though! It also
has to be compatable with stock CIS. Lastly, any idea's on what can be done
with the head while it's off. I'm certain I'm going to hear the same ideas
that we work with on VW's. NO I'm not going to put a turbo on it, so don't
even suggest it ;)
I just need another 10 -15 HP until I can build up the motor propely. Please
