Default Cam to reach 390HP in an A4??

Im thinking about doing another cam swap... and Id like to hit the 390 range with the A4.

Current mods are in the sig... and I will soon be swapping out the converter for an SS3800.

I was thinking of something in the 228 to 232 duration range, .560 to .580 lift, and a 114LSA on stock heads.

How does the C2 idle???

The HotCam blows in that department, thats why I am looking for something with a 114 LSA. This will also be for nitrous usage, but I want 390 without touching the heads.

I like the looks of that R1 they have on there...

And what is mild tuning??? It took 8 dyno runs to get my car right... and the idle went to hell a week later... then the trans went to heaven. Still havent been able to get a decent idle out of the hotcam. Surges like crazy when Im slowing for a speedbump... stoplight... etc.

228/228 114 +4

I have that now. good idle @ 900.

230/230 113 +4 would make some good power.

I like the sound of 230/232 113 +4 on an XE-R lobe with about .580 lift both sides.

I dont like the amount of lift that the G5X2 has on the exhaust side, and the rather wide split in duration.

Where do you think max power would be on a cam that size??? Id like to keep to around 6500 to 6700, as I dont really want to do gears, but if I do they will be 3.42.

I might just go for the G5X2... not sure. I need to talk to a few people first.
