I would go with an MTI B1 or similarly spec'd cam. It is one of the best for an A4. Just my .02. Good luck in your search!

I would recommend either our 222/222 114LSA or if you want to go a tad more mild our 218/224 114LSA. Both cams would idle fine with a reprogram of your Powerloader. You will definitely have to get new valvesprings installed when you do the cam, and a new set of chomemoly pushrods would be a great idea as well. If you want to squeak a few more ponies out of the car without any extra install cost, an underdrive pulley would also be a good idea to throw on during the cam install.
