Default Please help w/ cam selection a4/3.73/3200 Z28

First Post!!!

Been reading here for ages, long time member of the old LS1.com....

Anyway, need some opinions. Here is the car:
99Z28, A4, 3.73, ls6 cam+intake (I know, LS6 cam was a mistake - got a great deal on it + have regretted it since) comp 918's. Longtubes, ORY, Borla cat back. Car dynoed 332 + ran 12.7.

Planning a 3200 Yank first + then a new cam. I have a good tuner.
Cam thoughts:

Torquer 2
MS3
TSP 228/228

Thanks in advance for any advice!!!!!

the tsp 228/228 will peak earlier than the ms3,i don't know when the torquer peaks but i'm sure higher than the 228.i was happy with my 228,i could have made 450 + rw if i had the right pushrods and a better tune.you might want a slightly larger vert to get best strip results unless you don't plan on racing much.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I realize that I may need a 3600 converter, especially w/ the ms3. I realize that the 228 peaks earlier + seems like a better choice, but if the MS3 makes more power across the board, does it really matter that it peaks higher? I don't want to make the same mistake twice + go too small........

BTY..........asesome color on your car!!!!!

Any others w/ opinions.......please.....
