I'm an M6 guy but I'll take a stab at this. 114 lsa and go a bit bigger on the cam. The 323's and stall will be a big factor in your cam choice. I'm sure an A4 guy will chime and help you out. ttt

It is a good thing that you already have the converter portion out of the way. Are you planning on heads in the future as well? You could probably get away with a tighter LSA like a 112 but I think that you would like having a more broad powerband throughout with the 114. Cam looks like it will be a good midrange performer with still some good low end power. Which is also somewhat dependant on your LSA choice as well.

I'd say that the 228 would be right for ya seeing that its a dd. Any bigger and you'll notice some low end loss around town.

anyone know how it might compare to the tsp torquer v2? its a 232/234 .595/.598

not to rob thread but its just a step up, and thaught it might be interesting

well im just going to go with the comp 918 springs so i think the torquer 2 would be pushin those springs too much.

i talked to jason from tsp about that cam. he was telling me there was a car it was an A4 with regular bolt ons. im sure it had a stall. unsure of the size. that cam with the prc 5.3 heads put down 408rwhp...thats not bad for an auto with a small cam too..

I run 918's with my cam. they are actually rated to .610 You would be fine.

that is the cam i'm running with a m6.it drives well now that it is tuned alittle better than when i was cam only but tuned properly it will be a great dd cam.mine is on a 112 though but it topped out around 6100-6200 rpms.

I have this cam on 112 with M6. Mine pulls strong to shift point @ 6600 rpm. See dyno #'s. This is with stock pulley and intake/tb. It has ran 11.8's @120 full weight car eith 4:11's. I would say get it and don't look back. Dyno #'s don't win races.

Get the 112 and for 150 extra you can get a mail tune from TSP.
It is a no split cam, on XE-R lobes, easy for tuning and idle (even) 112.
I would run 7.425 pushrods with that cam, 918's will be fine.

Why 7.425 pushrods ??

slow trap

iTrader: (22)

i'm wondering that also. my 5.3s have had a .030 haircut so i used 7.350 pushrods and am now wondering if i might should have used the 7.400 i allready had.i might should have checked preload

I have the same cam and I used the stock pushrods. I was thinking of using 7.35s as well.

PREDATOR-Z

Because the XE-R lobes with .588 lifts will have a smaller base circle.
My .581 XE-R was .09x smaller which translates in .045 longer p-rods needed (7.445).
The closest without going over is the 7.425

7.40 will be noisy and too light on the preload.

Basicaly when doing a cam swap (stock gasket and stock unmilled heads), you should increase the p-rod length by the amount of the difference in radius of the new cam base circle:
Stock base circle 1.55
Stock radius .775
so extra p-rod length = .775 - (new cam base circle/2)

I hope this makes sense.
