600/600 cam only? Just bought a vigilante 3800 for the T/A. It has headers LS6 intake, cold air and 3 inch true duals dumped. Is a 600/600 too big without heads or gears. I dont want gears since mileage is only going to get worse and i dont want it wrapped out all the time. I dont think that heads are a realistic thing anytime soon since thats a whole extra 1200 easy. Know a kid with an A4 GM hot cam + a similar setup and its pretty weak. He pulls bolt on cars by maybe a car in the 1/4 so im thinking i need a little bigger. I want mid 12's on street tires and high 11's on DR's cam only LS6 intake and all. Realistic? Smaller? 589/589? Although its gonna be a DD there will be no hwy use. Driveability need only be medium.

Why are you judging cam size by lifts. That is just a part of the cam's potential.
I recommend this cam for your goals:
230/230, .612, .592 111+2 LSA
Custom grind Comp cam XFI/XE-R lobes
It has low 11s potential with the right mod combos (cam only)

?? a bolt-on a4 car could easily go high 11s without a cam or spray. my 00 3600lb z28 went 12.25 @ 108 with a poor launch and 2-3 nonshift syndrome. the car went 7.69 @ 88 in the 1/8 a couple months before, i'm convinced that would've been my 11 sec pass had i been on a 1/4 mile track. i didn't make it soon enough before the trans gave up.

Those stock internal cars also have a ton of work into them, such as a lot of weight reduction and most have pretty high dollar parts, built a3'sor a4's big stall, big gears, aftermarket rears. Slicks, ect. To run 11.5's SI you are going to need some serious work thats for sure. Most have tubular k members, full suspension, drag wheels. Well you get the point.

the car was spinning and went 1.71 60' - i wouldn't call that awesome...went a best of 1.60 on my 7.6 run. nothing special. stock susp. except for lcas, subframes, and no front swaybar. it's not some magical concoction, it was very simple parts on a very simple car. stock wheels, suspension, interior, longblock, etc etc. mid-high 11s should easily be attainable with an old standby 224 cam.
