Default In Desperate need of CAM advice

I am eager to order my cam but cannot decide on which one to go with. I have an 02 ss A4 w/3200 stall and full bolt on's. The car is not my Daily Driver but I do enjoy driving it as much as possible. I don't mind a rough idle and would like to see the best gains possible on stock heads (possibly ported).

In the future I want to add a 100 shot and get a 3600-4000 stall. Heads will have to stay stock for a while as I don't have funds to get some aftermarkets.

I am trying to decide on these following cams so any input, suggestions, or recommendations welcome :

Magic Stick V.3 237/242 .603/.609" 112 lsa
Texas Speed 233/239, .595"/.603" 112 lsa
Magic Stick V.4 239/242, .649"/.609" 112 lsa

All good cams.

I have the TSP 233/239 and love it. It pulls like a freight train up top. I have an M6 though so it may act differently driveability wise in an A4.

Might wanna try having Patrick G custom spec one for you, I did and was happy with what he spec'd for me. Just ordered it yesterday so no feedback yet but he is the cam guru, and the one to ask. My .02
