there are all kinds of options when it comes to cams! one person will tell you big is good some will tell you stay small. eather way you go i have found a good deal of the cams out there CAN be very streetable with the right tune. that said i am a huge fan of the MS4 cam. i know it is a very large cam but it can be very streetable after a good tune and makes crazy power. texas speed claims 80RWHP oon a 01SS with nothing but a cam (no other bolt ons!). i have a couple of friends runnig this cam in daily drivers! they get aroung 20+ MPG and no issues with the street. both there cars are M6, if you are running a A4 i would get a stall and maybe gears before a big cam especially a MS4. you can buy the MS4 cam and everything you need to install it in a package deal through texas speed. i am also a big fan of the T-REX cam. if i am right i think the fastest cam ONLY LSX car is powered by a T-REX.
