Default cam?

I looking to get a cam for my 00 ws6 A4 but I dont want anything too wild. Any suggestions on a good cam that is still mild enough for a street car but still will give my car a real boost!

TR 224 camshaft.
Probally the best all around cam for the LS1. (Streetable, and makes nice power everywhere, without needing a converter, or taller gear.)

I agree with the above, the TR224 is an excellent choice. However if I had an A4 I would do a stall before doing a cam.

MTI Stealth 2 or the C2 cam, with auto and stock converter I'd stick to the Stealth 2.

Im looking for the same thing as you and Im prolly going to get a TR224 .112LSA. Most make around 390-400rwhp w/ bolt ons and a good tune and it still maintains good road manners.
