I've got a 231/237 in my apt waiting to be installed. In my research, it makes about 390rwhp and 350-370rwtq. What times have you run with yours?

if you already have the 231/237, i'd look at the f14, which is 232/234 598/598 112, or the Ron Jeremy, 236/239 600/611 111. They will both make more power than the 231/237 when properly tuned, still offering great drivability. there is a post in the dyno section with some unreal #'s for the f14, 422 in an unlocked a4 cam only. check it out.

Im going to be purchasing the FMS cam very shortly here. I've been doing alot of research & spoke to Allan Futral...he was more than helpful. I'd suggest you do the same and he should be able to help you out if you let him know what you have done, and what goals you're trying to achieve w/your setup.

they dont mill unless you ask them too. the FM13 or FM14 should have no clearance issues.

The FM13 may give better low and midrange output compared to the 231/237, and perform equally as well up top.
