your A4 is probably 3.23. When it comes to cam selection, if you're going cam only, with maybe some headers, exhaust etc, I would look at TSP 228R, Ed Curtis Streetsweeper HT, or Martin Smallwood's SNS stage 2. I'm saying this because you're pushing around a 3600 lb car and need all the torque you can get. TSP's customer service is second to none. Call them up and you'll see. You can get a big cam with a name like LS godzilla and make it a dyno queen but your buddy with a terminator cobra is going to embarrass you. I've seen it personally. Do your research on valve events and keep your IVC around 42-46 ABDC at .050" if you're staying at 10.1 to 1. I'm no expert, but that's my $.02

torquer v4 cam or v2 Stall will improve et more than gears. If you have 3.23s I'd just stick with them and go with a good 3600+ stall.
I made the mistake (being used to manuals) and had 3.73s put in my car and now I have a whiny rear that really didn't improve the car all that much. A higher (numerically) gear with a stall will make it feel tighter from what I understand.

The 228R is a great shelf grind, one of the best! Do not entirely rule out consulting one of the vendors and see if they recommend a specific grind that will work best with your current setup and goals.
Lift the rear axle. Trans in neutral, brake off. Mark a wheel. Spin drive shaft by hand. If you spin the drive shaft 2-3/4 turns to rotate the wheel once, it's a 2.73. If it rotates 3-1/4 to one turn on the wheel it's a 3.23. If you get closer to 3-1/2 it's a 3.42. Etc
i have a torquer v2 with a 112 lsa and its a great cam. the cam doesn't really shine until around 4k rpm and then it really pulls till redline, however it does develop a low rpm "bucking" which is annoying as hell
I love my v2 but I have a 4000+ stall and a good tune. Pulls good up to 6800 and never bucks or any problems with drivability. I also have a forged bottomend and prc stage 2.5 5.3 heads with all the boltons. Even with a auto and big stall 400+hp is achievable with it.
I've seen 315 wide on stock rims but it looks like it's pushing it. I have always had horrible luck with nitro 555r and nt05.. I was hooking well with mickey Thompson et drag radials.. they don't last as long but way better.. you end up choosing a cam? I've been eyeing the v4 pretty bad.. it's always a hard choice with so many opinions and favorites on here. So many great possible choices though.
