I was running the TSP-231/237 (cam only)..made 378 RWHP-355 pounds ft. torque. I now have Patriot stage II 5.3s and a FM 13 cam. I'm making 426 RWHP- 410 pounds ft. torque. Lots of torque down low!!

Do you feel the loss of drivability going to your 231/237 from the 218/222 was worth it? Maybe the before and after dyno graphs show the whole story.I'm trying to decide whether to go bigger than my B1 or not when doing the heads.

If you have a A4 with 3.23's, your going to have problems with drivability unless you have a big convertor in there. If you have a 6 speed I say go for the 231/237 cam or another similar sized cams that's out there. Good luck!!
