Hi and welcome to the board 
Your question is too vague to be answered.
Here is what info you should give to get help:
1- Year, model, make of car, A4 or M6? Gear ratio in Dif.
2- List all your current mods.
3- What do you wish to use the car for? Street, street/strip, pure strip. (be very realistic)
4- Budget $$ and power to the wheels desired.
Once we have that info, poeple can then throw some suggestions at you.

Its a M6 with stock gears. I bought it with a magnaflow muffler, no cat, magnaflow tips, an a macs y-pipe.
Car will be mainly street, but here will be occasional trips to the track (nearest track is a nice little drive away)
I want about 350-375 to the wheels.
TR224 cam with your mods, some headers and a ported throttle body ($70!), should get you dead on with your goal of 375 to the wheels or maybe even a little more! What year is your car?
Nice #'s, I should get that cam if I don't bolt on a blower. You can never go wrong, I think, getting a 224/224 or 228/228 with .581/.581 to .588/.588 on a N/A applications. Not to start this again, but without heads, I am still with the cam king on this one and going with a Reverse Tourquer. My fav's are the TR230/224 and the MTI X1

Your mileage really won't change much with a cam, I still see 26mpg in my heads/cam car and many others get better mileage than that. The X1 cam is a proven performer that provides great useable power, sound and driveability.
Yes Comp seams to be everybody's favorite on this website. I would call up some of the cam companies and then decide who you like best. Maybe get a recommendation from each company and post it here and see who has had the best results with something similar.

if i were you, i would read the cam guide. u will find it in this section (external engine) of the forum. jrp did a very good write up on cams. it will be most worth your time before you decide on a cam without knowing the first thing about them.
