Lightbulb wt yall think

i want to put a cam but dont kno wt to get?
i will stay with a stock converter no mater what!
i was thinkin about the ASA cam but maybe that would be a little too high in the rpm range for a stock converter.
so what do yall think TR224 or what are some suggestions?

Let me be the first to ask you...WHY stay with the stock converter? A higher stalling converter is the single best mod you can make to an A4 car!

You probably already know this so I am as curious as I can be as to why.

You staying with the stock gears too? Maybe install a direct port nitrous system with the stock spark plugs??? J/K!

Oh, and to answer your question. I think the stock cam is way too much for the stock converter.

i will also agree with colonel. aftermarket convertor will do more than any other mod short of a big nitrous shot. a big cam and a stock convertor = terribly slow boring car. you have to match everything to work correctly.

everyone always wants to knon why i want to do this
well ill tell u my secret I only want to run low 12.
12.10,12.20,etc I only bracket race but in street class which is no faster than 12.00 so if i can make the most MPH out of the bunch i have the advantage
And if i accomplish this with just a cam and stock converter it will prolly leave the line like a dog therefore less breakdown,no changing tires every fri and sat no problems hooking!!understand
