i heard the ls6 hot cams are pretty streetable..as far as i know most cams need computer tuning to get the most out of them.. but i wouldn't think that cam would need too much tuning.. i am not sure though.. but..

I have a Futral F11 cam and i like it a lot so far.. just need to get the tuning right.. If you want the most for your money get futral or another sponsors cam.. www.futralmotorsports.com , call Allan or Candy or e-mail them and they can help you out and get you exactly what you want! They are great people.. do some searching and you'll see all the good feedback on futral! Good luck

My recommendation is the MTI Stealth II if you want stock driveability...its a 224/220 reverse split on a 116LSA. Has put down 400+rwhp/380+ torque on stock heads on an A4 before. And you shouldn't have to modify your computer.

Go with old reliable 224/224 on a 114 LSA for the drivability part. Tried and true. Everybody loves them.

I second the MTI Stealth, awesome street cam, but i would recommend tunning to get the most out of your set-up.

All cams (all mods for that matter) will need pcm tuning to make it worthwhile. What is the point of adding mods for power if that power is not reached because of lack of tuning?

I made 404rwhp/383rwtrq with the Stealth II. Nice cam. Pcm tuning needed for fuel trims and shift points/limiter. That cam pulls over 6600, but I shift there to fall in my verter shift point range.
