If I go with RS4 cams will I see a improvement with my same AWE stage III file?

It'll breath a little better up top. You should really get a custom tune to take full advantage

Default IMO money would be better spent going with a custom tune.
That will give you much more improvement than even the theoretical gains from RS4 cams.

Also if you have stock intercoolers, upgrading those (ER recommended) would have a good benefit too. Hard to know what to recommend without knowing the car's current hardware configuration.

Default There are some nice gains to be had up top in the powerband, but as stated below...
you would really want to have the files tweaked/custom tuned to take advantage of them.

Default I'm going to agree with Mr. Price here and strongly disagree with Brian and The-Jerbel
I would also like to emphasize jprices "theoretical gain from RS4 cams".

Default Did you ever tune for yours, thought you were going to sometime in Feb? There are..
a few cars around the country that run them and have experienced noticeable improvement. I think this has been beaten around quite a bit in the past few months, good discussion though!
