Default cartek stage 2 head and cam car needs new cam

I need some opions on a new cam. My car has stage 2 cartek heads they have been milled .030" the cam that is in the car is a 222/226 .580 .580 with 113 lsa. The car has put down 414hp and 400 tq through a a4 and has ran as quick as a 10.94 at a 121mph but i have made some changes and want a larger cam more suitable for the track but still be able for street use. The lists of new mods to the car are as follows i put new qtp headers on with the tsp true dual exhaust,a th400 rvmvb tranny with a 3800rpm converter, a ford 9inch with 3.89 gears and the fast 92/92 combo ported by vengence racing and 85mm zo6 maf. The car weighs 3260 with me in it and runs very strong . Thanks for the help.

not knowing what valves are in the heads....its hard to suggest how big of a cam to go with.

but i would think the El Torro would be a nice step up. it has proven to be a VERY strong cam in the a4 cars

other options might be something like the F13 or Torquer 2 for an off the shelf grind.



other option is to spray it

I would contact CARTEK 908-317-4496

If they are their heads, they would know what cam works best with their runner profiles and so on. They have a number of different cam specs that they can sugest to you based on what you want to do.

All of these would need flycutting for proper PTVC.

based on what?

valve size? milling? both?

even the sub-.600" lift cams would need it?
that sucks...sounds like a not so great set of heads to me.
