im looking at similar cams to make good solid power on the streets with my 99 A4...i think those are decent specs for the cam...I was also looking at cams in the 228/230 range they have a little more int. Anyways, you may want to consider buying a 3400 stall converter or so for your A4, you will feel a huge difference over the stock converter...this will help jack the rpms when needed to where your cam will operate at its best, rather than at the lower RPMs while still maintaining great street driveability.

Definately get a stall first...or at least along with your cam. Best desicion i ever made. And dont let people get to you with all that "cant drive with a high stall on the street" crap. I have a 3800 in my car and its 100% streetable. Car feels totally different now....but in a good way. GOOD LUCK!

No way I'd run 918's on that cam. Get you a set of Patriot Gold Duals & call it a day on the springs. Also don't forget Chromemoly pushrods, oil pump, timing chain & all that good stuff.

918s would work with the lift on this cam...true, the duals are better...but Im just saying.

I guess if you wanna be that close to your springs max lift go right ahead. You'll be replacing them more often too. Not to mention the duals have better valve control from the higher spring rate.
