Default largest daily driver cam in an A4

As the title states I'm curious how large of a cam you other guys are running in your DD f-body. I'm getting ready to do my cam swap in my WS6- TSP Torquer 2 with a PTC 3600 stall. I've been kicking around the idea of bumping up to the MS3 cam with the same stall. So what do you guys run and how is it in traffic? Thanks Gentlemen.

Bigger is not always better. If you go ms3 I'd suggest a 4000 converter.

I wouldn't run much bigger than a 230/232 .600 113 personally..

Dirty is spot on.. However... max effort cams like max effort coverters heads intake gears etc etc.. That's the reason I gave my suggestion.

I understand the tune determines everything... which I why I haven't installed everything yet. I'll have the money for a tune soon, and then in goes the parts. Also my car will only be my daily until the end of the year.

Currently my car is only full bolt ons, but will have everything listed in my sig.

I'm mostly jus curious what else guys are runnning as a DD cam

I DD the old speedtek F1 (230/226 .591/.569 112+2) and a vig 3600. It's a somewhat solid combo, nothing like what guys are running nowadays.

Torquer V3 with a YANK PY3600 and 3.73's here...as long as you have a lockup converter and a good tune you'll retain city drivability and good mileage on the highway..I consistently knock down 21-22mpg

My current trans is built.

My last one had 116K miles, 16K of those very hard with a 4400 converter and many track passes. Bone stock.

Any car with a converter has to have a cooler.

I have a 3600ss stall that's been seating in my garage for 2 yrs now ... At one point I was planning on having my trans rebuilt, but live happened and have been on hold for along time now.. And by the looks of it I won't be able to have it rebuilt any time soon... Been contemplating just throwing the stall in the stocker(88k) on it.. I installed the cooler 1yr 1/2 ago anticipating the rebuilt..
