Default I might change my TSP torquer cam. Help!

I have the 233/233 .595/.595 in my car now. This cam is ok but, I want to get alittle more power out of my car. Should I change the cam first or buy a new intake? I still have the ls1 intake on the car now. What cam should I change to?

I'd put an intake on it first and see how that helps. If you change cams later you will already be a step ahead having the intake first. But if you change cams, and the intake is hurting, you'll always make less power no matter which camshaft.

You can find used LS6 intakes sometimes in the F/S section.

change the intake first and see where you end up - you'll still be disappointed if you go larger without the intake

Add a pulley and ported TB and intake, you should be close to 400 rwp with all that. Plus the 4:10's take some hp away.

I put a ported TB on it after the dyno tune. Does a pulley help an A4 that much? Which intake should I buy ls6 or something else?

That cam makes great power. I'd stick with it and get an intake for it.
