Looking for a cam recommendation for a friend Currently Stock 2002 WS6 A4. He wants to go more of an odd cam I guess. He is looking for power from off @ 1000rpm -6000rpms. He doesnt want to spin the engine that high, and doesnt need the lope. He mentioned a cam like a roadrace cam, just without going to a solid roller setup and all the other drastic stuff, hence, LIKE a roadrace cam. Normally ppl want xxx cam, so with this one I am a little confused on recommendations.
TIA,
Charlie
TIA,

Like a street cam, power off idle, 1000 or 1500 and max out at 6k where the shift point will be set, but with huge *****. I dont want to spin past 6k. I would say around the 400rwhp mark. Im going with a road race suspention.

Omar is a very different person to work with, as far getting the right parts. He wants an ASA Sound, a frieght train pull and has to be able to keep the neighbors from killing him. I think I have him on the CheaTR cam with LS6 Style heads, headers & catback, Fuddle TC and then some suspension work via UMI. More my idea of a reliable, budget, stealthy idling, boulevard bruiser!

you'll have to spin to about 6300 but these engine are safe to 6500 no problems .

Thats the debate that I have going on in my head right now. I definately want the "clapping" lope (the more the better and the louder the better with a cut out and cat back) but I am willing to sacrifice that for the low end torque. As stated above by CAT, on the low end, I want to pull like a freight train, litterally, and still pull throughout the full rpm range.
From what I hear, there is no way I can get a cam with that dragster lope that im looking for and still be reliable (no maintenance) and not suffer on the low end without spinning extremely high.
I dont want to lose anything on the low end but actually gain throughout the full stock rpm range. The cheaTR cam sounds really good to me but I will be sacrificing the sound. Thats ok with me..... I just need to go back out and find that POS 5.sl0w that antagonized me and I couldnt get on it because my son was in the car.... Damn, I miss my bike....

Comp Cam grind on XE lobes, use 918's and titanium retainers.
You'll need a looser converter like a 2800 stall 2.7 str (so it doesn't pull on the brakes at stop with an 850 rpm idle)
