Torque arm not required..
LCAs will help address the wheel hop.
Wheel hop eats driveshafts..SO if it hops,lift!

4 tenths is a VERY good gain for a smaller to medium sized camshaft....

Thats roughly, everything keeping the same, 40 horsepower

Thats really good for a cam swap...

.10 = 10hp

I'd also lower your shift points to around 5800-6kRPM

Dude... I'd be stoked if I were you. 4 tenths is one hell of an improvement!!! And that is a baby cam too.

Add me to the list that can't understand why you are disappointed. Actually, you might want to start a new list of folks who are surprised that a cam with those specs gave you that much.

you have a 98 a4 only mods are a lid, cat back and small cam..get the rest of the bolt ons, and im guessing you have 3.23 rear? get some 3.73 and a good size stall and you may be able to hit 11s
