TSP torquer V.3 made 440 to the wheels through A4 at the local shop with H/C, stock catback, great tune. Not to mention the stock like driveability and wonderful under the curve power!

a buddy of mine made about 430whp/42x tq with a TSP 233/239 Cam. And of course he had bolt-ons. LT's and an LT6 intake are a big plus with this combo if you don't already have them.Numbers were on a mustang dyno, btw.

The 228R camshaft is a great cam. We've seen a4 cars make over 400rwhp with PRC heads. I personally like the Torquer 3 camshaft. It makes a good bit more power than the 228R camshaft, but it doesn't idle nearly as good as the 228R camshaft. I guess it really depends on your ultimate goals for the car

my goal for a cam would be driveability around town and to be efficient. but i want a cam that when driving around town i give it some gas the car goès off, kicks the tires out and when im on the highway the cam still comes on strong when i want it to. the car is mostly a d/d and will see the 1/4 mile maybe a hand full of times, and i'm not in to cams that have a lopey/choppy idle that when leaving a stop light you need to rev it up to get it going without stalling. the ms3/4 and torquer cams sound good and the tuners can most likely make them streetable to, but doing that will hold the cam back wouldn't? like the 228r, still seems a real good all round cam for a d/d and will make it more of a sleeper which i like.

228r would be an awsome cam i think that would fit you best, very good street manners but done with good heads and supporting mods you are looking at 420rwhp+ in a six speed car.
here is an example:

I have the ms3 2.5 5.3 combo and an M6, with spirited driving and 4.10...mixed driving, i get in the mid/upper 17mpg, i would imagine, if i took it easy i could get near 20...with the 3.42 gear it got near the same MPG...maybe closer to mid 18's...
