Default 380-400rwhp

My goal is to get between 380-400rwhp(no nitrous) and still maintain a very street friendly car/daily driver. What is the best cam set-up that will help me get to this goal and maintain my daily driver status? Also what will be the best torque converter with that set up?

futral motorsports --------> talk to allan hes a sponsor. I'm going with them when i go to get a cam. They seem to have most torque with their cams. Like most 400 rwhp all motor fbods u see are usually 400 rwhp 380 rwtq. Now most FMS cars I see are 400=400. Just my opinion

a-4s don't dyno as high as m-6s due to more horsepower being lost thru the driveline.that being said,to reach just 380 with a cam only is going to take a pretty big cam,i would guess at least 235 degrees duration.most a4 H/C cars i know of with streetable cams in the 224-228 range dyno around 380-400,mabe a little more.IMO,to reach 380-400 in an a4 with a streetable cam and stock heads is not a realistic goal.but put in a TR224@114lsa or something similar and a 3200 TC and you have an easy low 12 sec. car that would still be a good daily driver.just my .02

thanks for good advice, but why such low TC, not 3500-3800?

that would work also.but you might not like the extra slippage.what's streetable to one person is too much for another.a lot of guys on here don't mind 3500-4000 stalls,but for me that's too much.talk to a sponsor,they can help you out with a cam/TC combination.
