Maybe try an MS4, TREX, or Vengeance Vindicator. Im not real sure why you would want the wildest cam possible. How about a cam that lays down the best ET's or go off some criteria like that. Anyway, the main reason I answered your question was I used to "hang out" with a girl from Cartersville, GA that had moved here to Central TX and those were some good times.

what mods do you have now? and is it a M6 or A4. If an A4, what size stall. Also what is the car mainly used for-daily driving, or track car? We need a little more information before naming some cams.

Yes. Get some gears, at least 4.10's. Then find the best tuner you can if you want to be able to enjoy driving the car and not just drag racing it.

If you haven't yet, get a ride in a car with a cam like you are looking at. Not a bonsai run down a deserted road, but drive it gently like a sane person through neighborhoods at slower speeds and in traffic to see what you are in for. A choppy cams sonds great, but the driveability trade-off may not be what you've bargained for.
