Cam And Stall
Trending Topics
Agreed. I had a auto before my current m6 car and I ran a TCI SSF3500 as a bolt on car before I added the TSP 225. There is just NO comparison to a stock stalled auto vs a good 3500+ stalled one. It is just night and day!
Stalls are like cams as well. You get this size and you find yourself wanting more before long. I wouldn't get anything any smaller than a Vig 3200....they are actually higher than that, more like 3500-3800, or a TCI SSF3500, or an equivilent Yank converter. ****, there are alot of companys out there now since I have been out of the a4 game, Fuddle is one of them. Just do some research and take the advice of the veterans on here...we won't steer you wrong.

If it is one or the other I would definately recommend the Torque Converter before the Cam. It will be a night and day difference, and you will get rid of those pesky "dead spots" where the car just seems to take forever to pull (35-40mph, etc). Also a TR224 isn't too bad but some tuners will set your idle higher to keep the car from stalling, and with the stock converter the car will have a tendency to pull against your brakes at a stop.
We have a Fuddle 3400/2.2str and love it.

Our cam has a different range than yours, but I like how it behaves with the 3400 stall. Most manufacturers will be happy to suggest their opinion on the stall you would be happy with in your car. I know that the Fuddle Racing Converters stall their rated rpm in cars around 400 hp, and a little sooner with less. Our car just plain books (hauls rear) from a stop or from a roll, and it is a totally night and day difference with the converter, than stock. We did our converter right after the cam, and the car definately behaves better with the converter. Remember, that our auto cars idle "in gear" with the drivetrain "loaded" from the converter, so the car needs to be tuned with a Cam to even keep the car running consistantly.
The converter will give you the best bang for the buck and pave the way for a Cam. Keep in mind which direction you want to take your car. Ours is a DD, with occasional track duty (for fun), so we went a little smaller on the converter to keep its daily driving manners a little tighter.
