The TR 220 was my first cam when i bought the car brand new. I matched that to a Yank SY3500 and it really woke the car up. Nice choice!

Currently running a G5X3/Vig3600... night and day.. It's a process..

Good luck.

I have a 99 Z28 that is stock so far with the A4. Can I go with the 220/220 cam without changing torque converter?

Yes it is a good cam but if you talked to Pat G, I would think that this is what he recommmends
218/220 .604/.581 114+2 LSA

it will come with a 41.x to 42 IVC and ~(-8*) overlap,
Nice cam for a good ~30>35 rwhp increase if installed properly
Probably a better idea to go with the specs noted above.

For what it is worth, I also ran a 220/220 114 originally. It is a really decent 'smaller' cam. Its TQ curve is somewhat similar to stock..your power gains are pretty much evenly distributed throughout the Rpm range (2500-6000). It did start to fall off of power pretty rapidly after 6200 Rpms.

That it why a lot of people go for the 224/224 cam's. You normally can carry that power a couple hundred Rpm's higher..hence a little more HP.

The specs Predator-Z gave you will keep your idle pretty stealthy (but there is a noticeable 'burble' lope); but also will allow you some extra Rpm's on top.

Oh, and best never to lie to Dad! They always find out!

Good luck..

Plus it's a stock A4 with a tune, haven't got a stall but I'm probably going to get a 3200 here in the next week or so since the car is down for modifications being done.
