Default cam reccomendations

I've been looking into cams. I'm not really sure weather i want more bottom end or top end, but i want something thats as streetable as possible. I don't wanna lose a whole lot of driveability. Anybody have any ideas for me?

Thanks in advance

you really need to know what you want as far a power, torque, gas mileage, and how much money are you willing to dump into supposrting mods before you can make a decision like that.

I agree with chrs. even though i went bigger on the cam i have. what kind of stuff do you have on you car now is it a t56 or a4 what are your plans with the car? I suppose its a daily driver. and check out the cam only thread to see what chrs is talking about.

With out knowing any of your mods or goals I would suggest TSP 228R cam, like mine. Lots of ways to go about building up your car behind a cam like that. For example I know that it is a good cam for a turbo setup with long tube exhaust manifolds, if you want to do heads you can mill them down for more compression with out worrying about piston to valve clearance problems. To sum it up the 228r cam is an all around good performer.
