Cam for a stock A4?? Which one? I know this maybe a question that has been asked before. However, my search here did not answer any of my questions. I have a 2000 WS6 with longtubes and a 85 mm tb. Also, I have HPtuner if that helps any with my questions. I would like to know which cam should I go with if I do not plan on changing out my stock convertor. I would like to have a nice sounding cam like all the people talk about when it comes to the GM hot cam. However, I would like to have more power than the hot cam while maintaining all of the good features like driveablity and longevitiy. The car is a daily driver in the summer. I like to go with the stage 3 precision porting heads when I do pick a cam to go with. You can see these heads at http://www.precisionporting.com/heads.html I realize I may have to change out the stock convertor to a higher rpm value. I maybe mistaken, but won't a higher rpm convertor be harder on the rear end? Too much dough for me right now to buy a 12 bolt. Maybe later down the road, but not now. Funds won't let me do that. For now, I would like to get info on the best set up for the money. Can anyone help me?

Honestly you'd be much better off just getting a good cam and a 3500+ stall then getting cam and heads. It will be cheaper and faster and your rear-end should be fine. As far as which cam to go with, do a couple search's and you'll find more info than you ever wanted to know. I have a 224/224 with .581" lift on a 114 lsa and it's a little small for my taste, probably be going up to either the f13 or one of the new tsp cams. Just depends on what you really want.

What you might consider is to get the heads first and do the cam later. The Precision Porting heads flow great down around .200-.400" valve lift and you are worried about drivability with your converter. If ultimately you plan to do the rest of the mods, it might be a good alternative.
