Re: Cam only A4's who now have heads: few ?'s thanks for the info guys, but I wanted to hear from people that started with just a cam and stock heads, then got ported heads. Im thinking about gettin stage 1.5 or 2 TEA heads now and wanted to see how the cars felt after the heads went on. Also, I wanted to check to see if there were any major tuning issues or any other probs after the heads went on.
Ive got a house comin soon, so i was thinkin about gettin in on that TEA GP so i have them already <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Then i wont get the, "You need this for the house and not crap for the car line from the Boss lady". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Re: Cam only A4's who now have heads: few ?'s I think we have very simliar cams I have a 224 .581 112 Camshaft.
My cam has worked well, pulls like a bad **** especially past 6K. It idles fine except for a few instances, but more computer stuff should fix those little things up. My transmission is holding up fine. I'm also looking into a set of ported 5.7 or 6.0 heads. Should make the car pull even harder <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
