It's to big. It will likley not clear the pistons. If you have to have a big cam, try something like the MS3,4 or T-rex. All will likley be horrendous in a A4.

We have a 244/248 LSK lobed cam 112+0. Its using AFR heads, and a ported FAST 90 on a 346. It makes power to about 7300-7400. But its behind a 6 spd car. It makes about 500 RWHP at 6800-6900. I would not recommend it as a daily driver unless you have a big stall, and deep gears. Also, you'd need to be tuned in SD, as this will be a lot of tuning work in a MAF equipped vehicle. I don't have a sound clip, but its choppy....

that is a very big cam.heck that is the cam i'm putting in my 408 only it is on a 110.you will probably want something like a 4500 stall with 4.10 cogs to wake that cam up.i'd stick with something like an ms3.

Man I would not want to drive that cam on the street in a stock cube motor. You need big gears to get that to work.

4.10's, 4000+ stall, lots of tuning time. I'd consider it in a 6 spd, not in an auto.

Your other option is of course to go 8TB intake, then you can run as big a cam as you want.

Lift does not determine whether the cam will clear or not. Duration does. And yes the MS4 does have more lift, on the intake for sure.
