Whats the biggest cam i can run in a A4? I am looking into getting a cam but i am not going to have the money to buy heads or am i going to have the money to get a tune right away. What size cam can i run that will be streetable until i can get a tune? I am leaning to the FMS cams but i dont know yet. My goal is 380-400rwhp through my stalled A4. Thanks

probably gonna suck *** in cold days and before warmup. maybe surging at low rpm lockup and misfires that will throw the lockup off without tuning, if its a mid sized (TR224) style cam.
the misfires are the biggest issue since the TC will unlock when it sees them. That would not be very fun or healthy for highway cruising/low speed street cruising.
thank god for good tuners
