I had one put in last November. The only other mod I have are headers and a tune.

Cam specs are

224/228 LSA 114

Car idles a little choppy so the idle was tweaked up a tad. On the stock converter, it requires a little more brake effort at idle, but nothing really annoying. When the A6 converters come out I will look into one.

We've been running our C cam with the stock converters and working out fine. No idle issues... You just have to hold on the brakes on lights a little harder.

We do offer a complete custom billet converter for the A6's...

The idle will smooth a bit of you use a ported or FAST intake. I had a bit of a "shake" at start up with the cam I have and after the FAST, it's smooth but still has a good lope.
