Cam Suggestions? Sold my cam (XER273HR) so I am looking for a new one. I have a daily driver 98 A4 that I autocross and DE on the weekends. Have everything else I need for a H/C buildup (heads, lifters, rockers, oil pump, 918/Ti, ARP, timing chain, etc.), but have stock exhaust/intake.
I don't do the 1/8 or the 1/4. Looking for suggestions and pros/cons. Must be able to drive on the street. Willing to consider new TC and stall if needed.

Get one of THUNDERRACING's 224 cams with a 56X series and enjoy. These are great DD cams and make great power. Just my .02.

Being that you have the 918's get a cam that will work with them. I'd recommend a 224/228 cam as a good base cam for an A4 being a DD. You could step up a lil bit more like a 228/228. But keep the LSA numbers 114 or higher for max drivability. If emissions are a concern, dont go bigger.
Also, get long tube headers if you dont have them. And an LS6 intake manifold if you can swing it. Your're gonna choke the motor without headers.
IF you absolutely can't get headers and dont plan on them. Get a cam with a higher exhaust duration. Some companies have cams they recommend to help "make up" for the manifolds. But I'd avoid that route.
