The only thing you may regret is not building your drivetrain up strong enough before getting one. I see you have an A4 so you should get away alright with the stock rearend but you may have to get a transmission rebuild eventually once you start getting trouble with slipping and the 2-3 shift.
And the only other bad thing is that bolt on cars will seem slow from now on and you're gonna want more and more power

i deffinatly dont regret it.
i have a camaro thats a beast so i bough a TA as a dd and now am thinking of getting a cam for it too.
the only regrets ive heard people have are #1 not getting a big enough cam #2 getting a cam thats not lopey enough or #3 a cam that doesnt make as much torque down low as they where expecting.

I regret getting a really big cam and not having a tire to go with it.

maybe with a sorry *** tune someone might regret getting a cam because of the decreased driveability but all in all a cam i believe is the best mod you can do to your car.

The only issues I have with my cam'd car are the fact that the stock clutch and 10-bolt could let go whenever they feel like it. Just like the valvetrain, there are supporting parts in the drivetrain that need to be upgraded as well.
