A4 or M6?
Hard to ask that because some people will say 224 range and some will say Trex, its all in the tune.

If I was you go custom grind, Patrick G is the best get with him.

The tune is what makes the cam drive able.

You can get a smaller cam to run like stock (224).

+1 the tune can make even the smallest cams drive like crap and vice versa for the donkey dick cams!

my torquer 2 drove great even before gears but after gears theres almost no bucking at all and drives even smoother when cruising around

and i went 4:11s so im not sure how of a difference it makes between the two

JK its really in the tune and the knowledge and experience of the tuner and your realistic future goals with the car to make you happy. Good luck.

before anyone gives you any ideas we really need to know all of your mods exactly...by your post all you have is a K&N intake and a set o headers...but what kind of headers....do you have a free flowing catback? Y pipe with or without cats? ported throttle body? there are alot of things that are reccomended before a cam and tune for a couple of reasons...number one a cam will only perform well if the engine can inhale and exhale (intake and exhaust) and number two if you are getting a tune you might want to go ahead and max out the bolt ons so you get the most bang for your buck...

answer these questions and we can better help you!

thanks hope this helps
