I want to clarify also.. Bucking and pushing are two completely different things. All cars that buck that I have ever drove/rode in are from 6 speed cars with not enough gear for the cam.
Pushing happens 24/7 while in D at a stand still.

c6z06 is bigger then the c5, but shouldn't push on the brakes anymore then a stock car. I guess i i should be more specific too and say all automatic cars "push" it's just not noticeable as we are used to it. If i let off the brake it will accelerate a little.

Only stock car ive ever driven that doesn't move when you take the foot off the brake is my 03 astro AWD work van. I sure don't think that has an aftermarket stall.....

Yeah, that's what mine does sometimes under 1800rpm, with my stock 10 bolt an 3.42 gears. A 9" moser w/4.11 will be in the works, very soon.

Typeo..... Should have been C FIVE Zo6.

Why would it not push on the brakes anymore than a stock car? It is a larger cam......

I'm not used to it at all.. My car idles perfect at 800 Rpms with my cam and I run a 4000 converter.. My car BARELY BARELY inches forward if I let off the brake. If I'm even at the SLIGHTEST incline it will stay in place.

I would recommend this cam from your narrowed list

EPS custom grind (218/230 .595"/.600" 115LSA +4 advance) Overlap = -6*

Any experience with this cam on an A4 with stock stall? Any idea where it makes peak power? I did find one Patrick G thread with a dyno result, looks to peak around 6100.
