Ok loaded question is it going to be a DD or a weekend warrior also what type of street mannerism are you looking for. what are your track needs ie what type of et's are you looking for forget about HP specially if your doing an A4. Also if you are going to run a 3200 stall is gonna limit the cam size you can use. 3400 is a lot more forgiving.
I would say this specially with a A4 contact predator Z/ Patric G or Ed Curtis some of the top guys that spec out cams and have one done for you. with Automatics believe it a degree or 2 difference in lobe separation can make the difference between a good cam and a great performing cam for your car.

Good luck

The Torquer v2 would work fine. I have the Thunder Racing 230/236 in my LS1 GTO with a 3200 rpm stall. It's a good nitrous cam and I got into the low 11's with a 100 shot. Going for high 10's once it cools down a bit. I'm currently about 430 hp off the bottle with full bolt-ons and ported 243 heads.

Pretty decent. Has good torque, 408 ft/lbs @ 4650 rpm. You will need a good tune.

I'll post the dyno vid, towards the end is a clip from back at the tailpipes if you want to know how it sounds. Ignore the filter on the CAI, that was temporary.

Here's another vid with a short sound clip at the tailpipe. You'll see the camera jerk when I do a little rev, it scared my wife. The vid also contains my dragstrip personal best time.
