Default Is this cam a little much???

thinking about buying a Thunder Racing 230/224 .575/5.63 111 LSA? Would my car be streetable??? or is this just a little much, new to the ls1 and need a little help, I want to run stock heads, I will get the patriot gold spring setup. Other than that it will just be headers/y-pipe/loudmouth and K&N intake?? please let me know how this setup will do

Thanks

We have installed and used this cam in the past as well as custom cams very similar to this setup. They have produced very streetable results with very decent idles. The power on them were always pretty good.

If you want any help with that cam, springs, or anything else, you might want to check our cam package sale in the sponsor section.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.
Thanks,

I don't think an A4 would idle well without any tuning. Or at all...

Who said anything about not tuning?
And Oh Ye Of Little Faith! Of course an A4 can be tuned to idle with that cam. Might need a vacuum can for the brakes & AC but it will idle.

There is always "MAFless tuning" or "Speed density" if you like.

It will be easier to tune for a M6. It is a great cam only, very similar to a MTI X1 cam (112).
I would consider a LS6 intake for that. You should be close to 400rwhp with that cam/LT's/LS6 intake and of course the best tune money can buy.
