Talking Which CAM for my A4 TA ?

ok guys, I've done a few searches and read alot of the threads.. but I guess a cam is something you can't decide based on someone else's requirements so here is what I am looking for..

1 - Mid - Upper range power .. Since the TC, I can barely hook off the line as is, so something in the mid to upper range would be great!!
2 - Sounds badass at idle and WOT
3 - Streetable! - my car is a daily driver!
4 - Maximum HP gains [ties in with # 1 ]


Recommendations plz !

Mods listed in sig.

Thanks!!

Your mods are very similar too mine. My TSP 233/239 is very streetable with a good tune. Ran 11.8@114mph on motor. I get a lot of compliments on the idle. Idles around 900rpm.

I've got the same cam as Caribe. I'll be on the dyno tommorow getting a tune so I'll try to remember to tell you how it goes. And it does sound very mean at idle.
