Cam and stall question If I got a cam that has a powerband off idle to about 6XXX RPM would I still need a stall for my car? (It is an A4, OBVIOUSLY) I have been hearing yes and no about the whole ordeal.
I also wanted to know if anyone had any certain preferences on cams. I mean I'm not buying one now, probably later, but I just kinda want to get an idea of whats good and whats not. I'm kinda looking for something streetable with a good idle and good hp increase.

Any A4 car should get a torque converter no matter what cam you have. Even with your stock cam you will benefit greatly from getting a higher stall torque converter. As for cam selection try talking to different vendors about what you want out of your car and what your using it for. Also do some searching around here for reviews of cams and what other guys are using.

Even if the cam worked in the range of the stock converter I would still need to change it out and get something like a Yank 3600?

I'm happy yet angry lol. It's more money but it'll make the car a HELL lot quicker. So essentially a stalled and cammed car would be absolute rape right? That's the image I'm getting haha.
Well I have seen LS1's with just LT headers and stall, pretty beast.

Larger than stock cams will often have this ideal number at a higher RPM than your stock cam
You want to get to the optimal RPM faster, this is accomplished by looser converter.
