The Z06 cam is a step up from the stock cam. However there are lots of cams that will give you much better performance than the Z06 cam. For example the TR224/224 or the FM4.

IMO with an A4 you will get much more bang for the buck if you install a high stall T/C like the SS3200 instead of the Z06 cam. Or better yet install a higher stalling T/C with a bigger cam.
