What's the power range of that cam? I've been looking all over the net for LE cams and can't seem to find too many people running the one I want. I'm planning on a 226/232 .578/.574 110LSA.

If you plan to stick that cam in with stock heads i wouldnt suggest it and im sure LE wouldnt either. If you plan on stock heads i wouldnt stick anything bigger then that 226/232 110lsa cam in for best results. Im sure LE and many other will suggest that aswell.

There is nothing at all wrong with that cam. I have several customers using a Comp 230-236-111. You will need a good torque converter to go with it. It certainly is not too big for stock heads.

No way to predict that. I have seen stock '94/'97 A4 F bodys make everywhere from 235 to 290 rwhp.

Oh yeah it'll definitely be better than a cc503. That's what I was originally going to get before talking to Lloyd about the 226/232 cam

Why that cam? I think thats the other one he suggested till I told him my stall speed. If it is the same one he said it would make alittle more in the 2-3g range but up top mine would make around 10 more hp. He said with my stall I wouldnt lose anything, makes sence. I will say this and I even told loyd I was going to go with AI but im sorry they offered NO help in cam selection.

I just don't really want to spin the crap out of my motor since its going to be my daily driver for awhile. I think his website said the operating range go's up to 6200rpms on the 226/232 cam which is what I like about it.

Worth your time and money? Do you currently have the cc503 in your car right now?

There are many guys on here that have had good experiences with both AI and LE.

Keep in mind this is also a busy time of year for most shops/builders/etc.
