I would say a TSP 228/228 or a TSP TV2. Good midrange cam.

what are your goals for you car what kind of power are you after? do you drive it daily? all stuff you need to ask you self a cam is one of the bigges things to do to a ls1 for sure. you are going to want one that will work well with your converter as well. i like to call afew places that do cam's and talk to the tek guys and they can point you to some that will work best for you and your goal's.

I don't necessarily think you want a mail order tune with a cam install. You should get an on-site DYNO tune with a cam swap.

agreed i have had nothing but problems with my mail order tune. box tunes are great for bolt on cars but when you add a cam things get a whole lot different.
Say you put it in dot to dot and the cam is ground a little off and you didn't degree it the box tune won't be able to compensate fully, or the idle is erratic once again its a adjustment it the tune that a good tuner will be able to catch and fix on the fly. so if your gonna do internals get a dyno tune from someone who is reputable and has been doing it for a while and save yourself headaches it the future.

i have a tv2 from tsp and love it but i dont know how it would work in a a4 (i have a m6) as i posted befor the best thing for you to do is to call some place that has a teck for the cams like tsp and talk it out with them and they will point you to one that will work the best. as for the tune i like to have a full street and dyno tune. a mail order tune works well with a bolt on car but with a cam a live tune is best imo. if you are going to stay bolt on for any time i would hit up frost.
