Mine has been in almost a year, and about 4,000 miles. No issues so far.

Did you use your stock pushrods? IS the cam noticable on idle?

Mine is still untuned, and I did reuse my stock pushrods. It is very noticeable at idle.

Twink,

You are running the hot cam without any tune on your A4? Also, what size converter did you order?

yea, i just got my hotcam in last weekend. it sounds bad ***. im ripping my cats off so it will sound better. i think my cats have gone bad anyways. i reused my stock pushrods and i havent gotten it dyno tuned yet and runs like a champ. with mine it bucks at about 1400-1500 rpm with little to no gas. when u start it hot the idle dips down to 500 rpm 2 times, but its not a big deal cause it comes right back up. all in all, bad assness.
