Honestly, you're going to see a lot more gains with a converter and no cam than with a cam and no converter.

Choppy idle is cool, winning races is cooler.

definitely if you are getting a cam a converter is a must. I just rebuilt my transmission and put in a yank 3600 stall. 2 weeks later i got the torquer v2 cam and i love it. Idle is mean take off is even meaner. Made great power. Honestly i agree with the above. You will not be happy with that small of a cam. I have an A4 also and done a lot of looking into getting this done and everyone has told me a converter is a must with an A4 as soon as you put your car in park it will cut off. If you get a stall i would go with yank and for a DD a 3600 is great. My goal was a DD as well and this is what i ended up with.

Like said, even I was afraid of running a big cam/stall combo on the street at first. But now I swear by running a big stall and can say I loved daily driving my 408 with a 255/263 cam and 4,000 stall
