MS3 in stock A4? Would an MS3 or Torquer v.2 be overkill in my car? i just want the most STREETABLE performance on stock heads. cant seem to decide on a cam but i think i narrowed it down to these two. help would be much appreciated

yea i think im gonna buy a 3200 b4 next spring....i just think it might be a little much for me though. im gonna run the custom grind i already have for this year, then next year i think i might go with a bigger cam and maybe spray it

With that being said get an idea of they type of cam you want and its power range and select your stall speed based on that. No sense in getting a 3000 stall when you cam makes it power in 4500 range, and no sense getting a 4400 stall if you cam is a low/midrange power maker.
STREETABLE is defined by personal taste and more so the tuner ability to manipulate the PCM. Not the cam specs.

Id get around 3600stall, 3.73s and then a big cam.
I had a 221/221 on a stock converter, and they hated one another.
I couldnt imagine a MS3 with a stock converter.
By the way I have an MS3..I love it, but I need gears.

I have 3.23s not really enough. But they work. My 3500 works decent with it, but I talked with somebody that had a 3600 Yank something that did well with the ms3. Im sure any brand would do well.. Cant remember what the specs were on the converter. I would say nothing less than a 3500 stall.

The V2 will be more streetable, and will enable you to run a smaller stall which will also make it more streetable compared to a huge stall.

I just put an MS3 cam on my car with a yank SS 3600 stall converter and it runs great. The only problem i'm having is that my car seems to smoke quiet a bit only when idling. I heard deleting the pcv will help that. I have not tried that yet until i get more info.

the mods you have on your car is basically what im looking for....i'd be very interested in track times and mpg if you could
