Default Cam questions

Want to have a cam installed...

What cam would be streetable for stock heads? Do i have to replace springs and pushrods?

What cam would give me the lumpy exhaust sound?
And when you say needs tuning, what type of tuning are we talking about? And ONCE my car is tuned, does it stay that way, or requires tuning once in a while?

Looking for a mild cam, that wont give me any problems.

I have the TR 224/224 with a 110 LSA, my car had to have tuning because of idle problems. I honestly recommend getting the cam swap package from thunder racing. thats what I did, but I didnt get the Titanium retainers, and just dont see the need, maybe im wrong. You could get the 224/224 112 and it would lope nice, you would just have to get your idle adjusted a little if you are an M6 and for sure if you are an A4, it should make good power. I think I answered your question hopefully.

I have a T1 in my car with only a HPP3 for tunning and I have no drivability issues the set up is almost 3 yrs old and about 25k on it .... You will need new springs and it would be a good idea to get the pushrods as well IMO
