Default CAM Question?????

I have an A4 Mods so far: Vararam, kooks headers, 342gears, B&Bexhaust and X pipe. Would a mild cam help me? I dont race the car just looking for a little more around town. Any suggestions?

A cam will get you about 50 more hp if that is what you want.

Do yo have a higher stall converter to go with your 342 gear?

No. So many people told me not to use the TC since I dont race the car.

Whatever cam you put in will require tuning, I good all around cam would be 224-224/588-588-114LSA. (Still passes smog) I would also do Stage II heads at the same time, hardened push rods, double roller timing chain, and a ported oil pump. That will net you between 80 to 100 HP. Your stall should be a 2800 - 3200 max with a STR of 2.0 for what you want. They are very streetable and will help your 60ft time if you do race.
