I want to keep the power band LOW in an effort to not destroy my A4. The car will have full bolt-ons and a Vig 3200. What sort of grinds should I be looking at to keep that powerband very low? I will stay with stock heads and I want a decent idle. Ideally I'm thinking something that peaks shy of 6k and I can shift at 6200 or so. Any ideas??

you're already running the best cam for your goals.

Im shifting at 6100rpm with my tr224 112, stalled a4. I moving up to the tr230 now, and will probably move shift points to 6300rpm tops.

I disagree, I think you could make a pretty significant improvement by going with a small cam. A 218/220 110+1 cam cut on XFI intake and XE-R lobes would make for a great cam with headers. If the OP plans to keep the stock exhaust manifolds, the next smaller 214 XFI lobe combined with the XE-R 220 lobe on a 112+0 grind is a good compromise.

you could always just advance the cam on install to shift peak power.

I run a vinci grind, 222/228 duration. Check my sig for dyno. I shift at about 6200. I will say it will make a difference on who tunes the car as well. Before my second tune I didn't peak until 6400. After a better tune my powerband shifted down in the rpm range.

your safest best is the tried and true 224/224 cams!! one of the best proven cams around for daily drivers.

Kenny the TR224 is the cam to run
6200 shift point w/stock heads in my old WS6..
Idled great (112LSA) and made killer tq and ran 11.60's@3500lbs
IMO the TR224 is the best cam only Street/Strip DD cam u can run

If you call Thunder they can tell you the ideal shift point. I ran the TR224 112 lsa with an M6 and was told to shift at 64-6500. We have a guy in our section who ran 12.1 all day long with it and a stall and some bolt ons.

This will be a very, very torquey cam with the shifts you are asking for.

I would second hammertime's suggestion for a setup (although with a stock converter).
I ordered the XFI 214 intake and a LSL 218 exhaust lobe and 111 LSA +0.
The grind came out at 216/.600 and 219/.609 @ 113 LSA +0
The car runs and idles like stock with massive torque in the midrange. I shift at 6100 with my A4.
The mileage went up also.
I would take the same cam again but maybe with less LSA for even more DCR. I daily drive my vette so I need something that has a close-to-stock behaviour.

Thats what I'm leaning towards JS. You told me a few months back to get a Vig 3200 and I'll be going that route as well. Any other suggestions?


Thanks for your help!!

This is a touch more lift than the Thunder 224. Will it make a tad more power? Sorry to the dumb question, but the +4 will just mean the power will come in sooner, correct?

What about the Vengeance Racing VRX4 cam, 228/230/588/592? that might be a good one.

PREDATOR-Z

yes more power,more trq, in the shift band you desire. properly degreed and tuned, I wouldn't be surprised by 400rwhp/400rwtq results

^^^^^Agree Vinci XXX, this is a nice cam. Easy to tune, drives nice, and makes great power. I have the same cam.

another vote for a 224 on a 112.

Would you guys recommend the XFI lobes for this cam size?

I agree,at a 114 LSA nice and smooth idle
