That cam seems like it is close to the comp cam that I am going with. I have researched it and it seems like a really nice cam, pretty good power all around.

look for strong mid-upper rpm trq, and 410+hp with those heads and cam profile. cam specs look right for your combo though. just curios on ICL? i'm guessing it's 108.

XER 230/230 .591? Thats what I'm getting and it should be here Monday. Unfortunately my budget doesnt allow for some nice heads, so i bought some 241's with PRC dual springs and titanium retainers off of a member.

I hope so, I originally went with the ms3, but found out that with oversize valves I wouldnt have any ptv clearence. So I settled for this cam, we'll see how she does on the dyno.

I should get mine together next weekend. I was hoping to have all the parts here this weekend, but that was a no go. Are you an a4? Let me know what kind of power you make.

Those are close to the same specs as my cam. But mines a trick flow cam.
