This is the same setup I have been looking at....this time I am not going to be the guinea pig... I think it will be an awesome cam. I think going with an XE lobe on the exhaust will be sufficient and should put the lift around .575. Keep the intake XER with a .588 lift. You also may consider a 113 lsa (+3).

I am running a 228/234 588/598 112 +4 in my A4, I love the cam. I went from 289 rwhp (stock convertor), to(added a cam and longtubes) 359 rwhp, the convertor (TCI 3500) was dynoed unlocked , and my airfuel dipped below 10 to 1(pig rich), so I know I could get easy 37?'s out of it with an Ls6 intake, and a little work on my tunning. not to shabby for a cam only A4!
