There is no best cam. What are your other mods, what are your goals for the car, do you need to pass emissions, will you be getting aftermarket heads, or tuning, what year is your car, how do you want it to idle.

As you can see, there are many variables in determining which is the best cam FOR YOU. No one is going to hold your hand and teach you everything there is to know about cams. What I would do is take some time and do some research on this board and get familiar with the SEARCH button and see what others have posted.

Good luck!!

it is an '02 A4, I have MAC's w/ ORY vig.3600, Free mods, lid, Borla Wide, open, will get a comp tune, and Stage 2 heads eventually, will spray 150 shot t-n-t from time to time. Emissions is not a worry nor is idle, I want the damn thing to run hard.

Yeah X1 would be fine with stock heads and bottom end. Might have some idling issues, definitely need a good tuner.
