Any cam can suck for an A4 if not properly tuned and if you don't have the right supporting mods. With that cam you are going to want a decent stall converter. Also, what supporting mods do you have for the cam?
This.
So many want a max effort cam though and couple it with a 3400 converter.... ls6 intake... And 3600#.
Then wonder why us guys that have a clue walk all over you with a baby 226 cam and similar budget builds.
Max effort cam=max effort everything else.

For a DD I would want a smaller camshaft than a high 230's low 240's duration grind.
Only if you've previously daily driven a LS engine with a cam of this size would I recommend something that large.
As Lemons said, max effort cam means max effort supporting modifications.

I have the ms3 cam in my ls2 and it could easily be driven every day. My car is a 6 speed, but if the tune is good, and you have big enough stall and gears you will be fine.

I had the MS3 and I sometimes wish I kept it and better optimized it. It was decent with the SS3600 but I think it would;ve done way better with the Circle D 2E that I have sitting in a box.
The MS3 can run hard but it needs to be in a lighter car with a 4000+ stall and the right gearing and supporting mods with a spot on tune.
Like any bigger cam the setup need to be optimized correctly which isn't hard to do.
With the cam choices out now there are better options IMHO

I had an MS3 also. I enjoyed it.
Be sure to get a great tune in it.
And as everyone else says get a high stall (4000+ w/high shift extensions and some gears)
That cam lives in the upper rpms. Mine kept making power up to 7000+ rpm.
