Re: X1 or TR230 Pros and cons in a stock head A4 both cams will get you over or at 400rwhp on stock heads with bolt ons. the durations are very similar just the x1 has more lift.
you cant go wrong with either, both have been proven to make great power.

Re: X1 or TR230 Pros and cons in a stock head A4 Cut the ball ends off of the macs (big restriction) and replace them with a straight collector. One of the sponsors sells a kit for it. >>>>>>>>>>>>
Plus JMX has a detail on his how to site about hoging out the header flanges area on macs for some increased flow.

Re: X1 or TR230 Pros and cons in a stock head A4 I love my X1 with spray. Check my Sig out for numbers N/A and on 100 wet shot! I`m safely tuned for it. Pulled timing and run rich. Better safe than sorry! I love it!!!

About halfway down, the Mac Ball flange eliminator kit.
Oh and the pacesetters turned out to be a good quality product. Because I put them in a kit car I had to hack and weld a little, but the headers are a good piece overall.

Re: X1 or TR230 Pros and cons in a stock head A4 Mac's have a 1 3/4 primary tube diamater, Just like the pacesetters. I have a spare set in the basement and just measured them. But the pacesetter LT's will do better IMO. Good choice.
