It should be fine.

If you're worried more about low end tq, maybe get a slightly smaller (220/220) cam.

Or, if you want great driveability, get heads.

HP? Depends, but 380 rwhp should be attainable.

Yep... 380 sounds like a good estimate. With a TR224 w/ .563 lift I put out 375RWHP on stock heads. My car's a M6 too..... that cam is similiar enough to what I have.....it will drive fine. I would't go any lower than the 224 for an M6. The manual handles a lumpier cam fine and going too small isn't worth the pain of install. Just my $0.02

I'm running a similar cam. TSP 225/225 .589/.589 112 and it makes for a good street cam on stock heads with a little tuning. It's a little rough idling but works well. Thinking of going bigger now though with the new heads.

I have a 230/232 112 cam and now that the tune is really getting dialed in, i can barely hear it lope anymore. Drivability is awesome, although i admit i have some very slight, very low rpm bucking that i believe is due to my cold oxygen sensors. Youll have no problem with a cam that small. I wouldnt hesitate to look around at something bigger too, i mean, you dont want to have it all done and wish you went a little bigger.

I have an A4 with a bigger cam than that..you will be fine with a little tuning

380 rwhp is a close guess
