what he said, and out of the above i'd go with the tr224 114.

what other mods do you have. if none then go with some bolt ons over the cam for now; lid/filter, LT's, Y pipe, catback, ls6 intake, pulley, TB, ect.

you wont see huge gains with a cam on an otherwise stock car.

The TR224 has been puttin down some real attractive numbers lately. As long as you stay on a 114LSA you should be alright. The stall will help you get a lot out of the cam as well. With the 224 you'll want some tuning to run top notch, especially in an A4. Call up TR and TSP, they would be more then willin to talk to you about it. Just don't opt for a smaller cam thinking you'll swap it later, same the money and just do it once.
