Default what size cam for an a4?

What spec sizes would you all recommend for a 2001 ws6 a4 with lt's, y pipe, lid, and cat back? i dont want anything too big, but at the same time i dont want to waste my money on a small cam and not see a real big difference. thanks in advance

Keeps the RPMs more in the powerband so the cam can do its bussiness.

do a search in the sponsors group purchase section
u'll probably find a good deal..
3200 to 3600 is just my opinion.. good for a daily driver.

a friend of mine w/ all the bolt-ons, ls6 cam, vig 3200 stall running 11.8@114 on drag rads he dyno'd 350rwhp if i remember right.

First Y pipes sound like ****, get duals, then get a PT4000 converter and then do bolt on's, if you still arent happy then do a cam.

You might see about another 10-15hp. Once you get the stall, you may be happy with everything like it is, other than maybe losing the cats and throwing on a cutout. But if you want more power, then you can stick a cam in. Something like a TR224 would be a good proven daily driver cam.

Unless you are going to get the duals that exit out the back dont wast your money.

Heres wat my ORY sounds like w/ cutout closed going through a flowmaster, day after cam install before tune. It's WAY too loud for daily driving with it opened after you put a cam in.
