So basically, he considered lope to be a "major loss of drivability". That's how I'm reading it. Lope does NOTHING to decrease drivability. He may not have liked the lope, but that's not the point. Or am I missing something?

Converter comes before cam and it's hard to pick a cam before you even get a converter and then actually get that same cam (or one very similer in nature) whenever cam swap time comes around.

It's true that most A4 guys get the converter first, then the cam, but some do it the other way around. If you choose the right components, the end result should be the same.
Of course, some of us like myself go through two or three cam and converter swaps before we're satisfied!
