Ive been looking at something like the G5X3 or MS3 specs, but im not sure on the exact specs im looking for. I have the 228R-112 right now, but im adding a 90/90 combo and stock milled(.010) 243's and .040 cometic. eventually adding TFS ported 215's. I am wanting to get as close as possible to 500rwhp with an A4. I havent dynoed yet but from all the other dynosheets with the cam i currently have im looking at around 380-390 as i sit and ran a 12.66 in 2700'-2800' DA.

Good luck!
Best cam would probably be a custom spec one for your combo and needs

i highly doubt you will hit 500rwhp through an a4... thats getting up there... 450 is still high as hell.. i had a buddy with an ms4,prc ls6 heads,4k stall, 410s, full exhaust 90/90 and he made 425... granted if you spend some big bucks on a nice *** set of heads and then get predz or patrick to spec you a cam.. you might get REAL close to that.....

is this going to be driven on the street and if so do you care about the "streetability" and/or "power under the curve" which i think is overrated and a joke.. but its whatever.. if your turning the times and making the numbers, who cares?

just more info on what your looking for and maybe i could help you out a little bit.

well like i said i would like to get as much as possible out of it. drivability/streetability isnt really an issue either.

iTrader: (71)

well of course a custom grind is going to be your best bet...

i love my ms4! for driveability/manners.. times/numbers.. the whole 9 yards.. it has proven itself to me time and time again... if i didnt have it, i would want a trex..

buuuuut.. if you dont want to go with that... ill go ahead and tell ya im a fan boy for TSP.. i would go with a ms4.. the trex is also a very promising cam.. it just depends on what heads you want to go with later and if your going to have PVC problems... if you arent going to flycut then with those two cams its going to rule out a lot of head options..

honestly, you dont need to pick your cam to get you there yet... you need to get the best set of heads you can get, and then decide what cam you want..

Patrick G or JPH could give you some cam advice to suite your needs.

are you looking for dyno numbers or track times.. track times are easier to achieve than dyno numbers.. more things can help out, such as stall, gears, weight... so on..

lemons12

i think they charge like 30 bucks.. its worth it though.. even if you dont go with a custom, you could try to find a shelf cam that is close to what they spec for you..

ok some more info! the heads will be milled to 59cc then valves will be further unshrouded and another valve job to get the flow back up. i will be taking the engine back down and boring to a 3.905 because of some pitting that i didnt worry about being stock engine and just wanted a little power in the beginning. That being said i will more than likely have to flycut the pistons or buy with reliefs already cut.

track times is the main concern!! I would like to pickup another 8 tenths or so from what i am now. thats factoring in 90/90 combo - heads - cam

regency

iTrader: (15)

yea i will probably do that but i would like to see what specs everyone else comes up with

ZMONSTER!

Predator-z has helped many people spec a cam, and he doesn't charge anything.
Like said above Id give TSP a call. You need to figure out what heads you will use first, then tailor the cam to them. Lots of people have been going backwards on this lately.

ok.. if your going to flycut i would definitely say ms4... i love it.. period.
if you have a good tuner, street manners and so on will be excellent.. makes good power.. and pulls incredible at higher rpms... granted you runs low

that is if you want a cam off the shelf.... if you are getting a custom grind.. listen to Pat G or pred. Z, im a dumbass compared to them...

lemons12

any decent sized cam and just plain ole ls6 heads and a 90/90 should knock off that with ease.. granted you have a stall and gears to compliment the cam..

well my mind is made up on the TFS(CNC'd) 215's, milled to 59cc and whatever is necessary to get flow back to par!! Fast 90/LS2 Throttlebody is sitting right here beside me! Now im looking for a cam, next will be to get the block bored(3.905) and everything put on

My mods on the truck at this very moment are:
TSP 228R-112
Pacesetter LT's
Powerbond underdrive pulley
LS6 intake
S&B CAI
4.10's
tru-trac
TCI competition stall 3800
shift kit and servos
stock 853 heads with comp 918's

I have a Fast 90 and LS2 throttlebody sitting on the desk right here beside me along with some milled 243's and .040 cometics and new gm head bolts. I am going to install this stuff for now since i have it and keep saving money to get the TFS heads. i do all my engine work myself except boring and stuff like that and tuning

go to a good 4400 stall ms4 and lighten her up as much as possible.. along with your fast setup and heads.... you will def. shave your time off a lot!!!

you should be able to just call someone up and tell them what stall size your wanting.. and they be able to restall it for you... and ms4 410s and 4400 stall is gonna be sick outta the hole man..

anymore opinions guys?????!!! Im just looking for your help before i go to pat or pred

I'd want more torque in a truck so I'd rule out the bigger cams, but that's just me
talk to the shops and see what they recommend, the sponsor shops here all seem helpful and willing

with a 4400 stall and 410s, he wont have a problem getting off the line..
