Is it worth a cam change on an 08 A6 with stock converter?

As best I can determine, idle speed can't go much over about 600 rpm with my stock converter in my 08 A6. Would a cam change that will idle this slow produce enough gains to be worth it?

Larry, I put a cam and maggy on mine, but had to change the convertor. It idles around 800-1000 and is really smooth.

That's what I was afraid of. Just not ready to go with a converter right now. Guess I'll keep the factory cam.

Larry we use our Stinger cam with a Stock converter and it works great with LS3. Idle will be around 800 and the car will drive like it does now. Here is a vedeo of and 08 A6 with our Stinger Cam.
