Wow, running a TR230 without a stall? I don't even want to know what that'd be like off the line. As everyone else says, you NEED a stall and gears. Without a stall, you car would barely even run/idle with the T-Rex. It's a badass cam, but it definitely needs other mods with it to be effective.

I don't have any experience with A4s, but I ran my T-ReX with stock gears for more than a year. Obviously, that wasn't ideal, but I did it, and I still enjoyed the cam.

i think you'd be fine if you had a 3500 stall w/ a 3.73 gear. and to the guy that said he ran the cam w/ his m6 car w/ stock gears for a year.... manual cars are much easier to deal w/ big cams. an automatic you can't jsut rev the motor up a little higher and slip the clutch a little more. stock stall + big cam = BOG!

really you should consider just getting a stall for the setup you have.
i ran the tr 230/224 for a while and it can run some killer times (mid 11's at 119 mph in my car). of course i had all of the supporting mods to go with it. which is essential to running fast times.
put a stall in the car and it will be a completely different animal.

Trex needs more than a 3500 stall. Hell, my MS3 needed more than that to show any of it's potential. You could get away with the Trex on a 3500 but it would be stupid, IMO, to put a Trex on a <4000 stall.
