Default TSP 228R or TSP Torquer V2

what would be better for a strictly street application in an a4 with a TCI streetfighter converter and 2.73's (may upgrade to 3.73 if needed). I know its all in the tune for no surging or bucking at low RPMS but what cam will less likely do that and can run on a stock tune for maybe a month till i can get a tune? IS the V2 too big for a everyday driver in an A4?

with stock compression the 228 should be a pretty strong performer. the t2 has 4 * more duration on the intake side and 6* on exhaust so your bottom and midrange will be probably around 10 ftlbs or so lower than the 228 but will gain about the same up top .i had a 228 so that is what i say run,it was a great all around cam but alot of people put cams bigger than the t2 in stock bottom ends and love them so opinions vary.

im in the same boat as you! But the torquer has so much more lope to it which i like, but the 228R will have more street manners which i need

I understand. I really want some Lope but i dont want to lose my street manners. With the 228 you'll have good power and it definately wont sound stock. It will have some chop to it. (112 Lsa)
