Default Which cam with my A4 C5?

I am considering installing a H/C package in my C5.

Currently I have the following mods:
3.42's
SY3500
Transgo
Borlas
Kooks LT
Vortex Intake

I am considering the following two cams:

224/224 .581/.581 112
or
228/232 .588/.575 113

Can anyone with an A4 running either cam chime in and tell me how the car runs? Pros/Cons

Thanks

Alot will depend on what you're goals are for the car. If it's mostly a track car, go with the bigger cam. If more for the street and also some track use, go for the 224. A few years ago, the 224 cam was considered a pretty big cam for an A4, but now it's considered small in comparison to todays larger cams. The 224 has been proven to do well for both street and track, and with tuning, should be good for a daily driver too. Good tuning will make a BIG difference regardless of which cam you go with, especially in an automatic.

Good luck.
