Default CAm help

Hey guys well i am planning on getting a cam for my 00 ws6 but i have some questions. And i am warning u I am pretty dumb when it comes to cams. Well i want a cam but im not sure which one to get. I want that lope sound but i don't want it to sound like its gonna stall out. and another question.....i know that the sound of the exhaust will be louder at idle but how about when i hit the gas. will it be louder. And will it effect my gas milage. well guys i need ur help on which cam to get. This car is a daily driver.

Thanks guys in advance

First off this should be in the internal section. Secondly do you have supporting bolt ons for a cam? Headers? gears? M6 or A4? The car will be louder all the time. Once tuned there should be no big change in gas mileage. Going from 3.23's to 3.73's made a bigger difference than my cam swap did.
I'd say get a F11 from Futral Motorsports. It'll lope, but still be very driveable. They're a sponsor ====>

You can do just the cam but you wont get the full benefit. You should look into headers, p&p t/b, lid, etc to help the aftermarket cam breathe.

Keep in mind all the stuff that goes with a cam and it easily adds up to well over $1000(cam, tune, spring/retainers/seats, pushrods, etc)

You can put a cam in a stock car, but you wont get the most out of the cam, so why do it. With a cam i'd say you def need:
aftermarket air lid
LT headers
good cat-back or duals

There are many cams out there to choose from for a daily driver, TR224, TSP has a couple, and the F10 or F11. Many to pick from, check the sponsors------------->>>
