Default Streetable cam

I want the biggest streetable cam possible without having to get a tune for a while. I have an A4 and I know that it is best to get a tune with a big cam but it would be a few months before I could save up and go get one. I want a nice mean soundin lope that puts up GREAT power and numbers, Thanks ahead for any input. All I have now is an FTRA, Lid, Cutout, All free mods, and a bellow. Need more power. Thanks..

You had better get a performance converter first.

No tune, on a stock A4, no headers, no TB, no LS6 intake, no pulley...

I wouldn't bother with a cam yet. If you have to do a cam, you should look at the hotcam.

.
Why?

Save the money for the tune (or fix whatever your issue with the tune is) then do it right the first time.

Take this from someone who is going on his third cam swap in the spring.
