I've heard good things about the Toquer 2, which is what I've bought. Specs are .595/.598 332/334. I wanted a cam that would peak close to the stock rev limiter. With the Tv.2 I will raise the stock rev limiter to 6,520 and call it quits there. That's only a couple hundred rpms higher than stock, which isn't too bad considering there are guys revving up to 7,000+ with stock internals. I will be doing install soon, just trying to finish my last semester in college tho...ugh!

call our sponsors for the best opinions, because you have an A4 and good idle might be a concern the 228 is probably a good choice. what kind of valve springs are you going with?

x2....and you'd still be able to get away with something that has a few more degrees duration and still be as streetable as you are describing.

The El Torro on XFI/X-ER lobes ......Great choice.. Slight variant here..... Mine has plenty of bottom and on a recent 1000+ round trip to Ohio NEVER downshifted ONCE going through the VA. mountains and WV turnpike at 70-80+ MPH. Serious climbs so much so on the downhill runs had runaway truck ramps.

Awesome DD cam just got to tune that 111 lsa right..... I have my TC lock up at 46 MPH and it has better or more pull than stock (3.23 gear).

Search Predator-Z or chrs1313 on here. It is a pred-z spec on Comp Cams XFI/X-ER lobes. Pred or chrs can give you the lobe numbers to order it. Chrs is the smallest cam on the top 10 fastest cam only list on here.
