new cam help i wanted to get a new cam for my 200 a4 z28, i was thinking about getting a Texas Speed 224/224 XE Camshaft 566"/.566" 114 degree, or the Texas Speed XS Series Camshaft: 228/228, .588"/.588" 114 degree, which one would be better, or is there another one i should consider, or are they to big for an A4 Z28

the 224/224 seems to be a very streetable and popular cam especially in the automatic cars. it also show a great power increase over stock. good under he curve power. as for ricks suggestion of the MS4 i would have to say way too big to even think of running, but not nearly impossible. but thats just my $.02

Mike, how much power do you want? Would you be happy with the power of my SS? If so, the 228 is fine, with a good set of heads, a decent converter, long tubes w/all the bolt ons and a real good tune with 3:42's or 3:73's...With a good tire it should be an 11 sec car. If you want it faster, then we can add a 100 shot of nitrous. Its gonna be way more involved to get it up to the Cobra. One day at a time buddy..
You did good on the lid and maf!
