Convertor should go before the cam if you are A4.

Yank, Vig, Circle D, Coan and others make a good convertor..

Wrong Section btw.


And to answer your question, SEARCH. Honestly that is the only way you will be able to find the kind of cam YOU want. You concerned about driveability, gas mileage, etc... This forum is the ****, you will find out everything you need.
