Get edit and a competent tuner and you'll be fine with any cam. Cam should work pretty good...

That's a good cam.

Look also into the TSP 231/237. I believe the guys over at TSP are fitting A4's with them successfully. Now THAT's a cam that will respond to Stage II heads.

For daily driven cars, a lot of folks are recommending something with a duration of around 224. That duration seems to be a popular one that is proving reliable without sacrificing drivability too much. Look at the TR224 or the C2 even.
