cc306 with stock heads
I am putting a new opti and timing kit into my car. So I want to do a cam now since it going to be basiclt the perfect time to do it. I am thinking about a cc306 but is it to big for stock head I will also be installing Hooker LTs, 1.6RRs, new pushrods and comp Valve springs, while I am doing this just still saving for the headwork.
Will i be able to run with this set-up on stock heads in my A4 or will i have to get a converter or not be able to run it at all. I know I wont see the cams full potential till I get heads but I would like to install it while I have everything apart down there. Is there anyone running a similar set-up on stock heads.

Yes that is what i thought I am really not worrieing about not getting full potential right away because i will do the heads just not at the same time just seems logical to do the cam while i have everything apart down there .

Just go for something smaller like the CC503, you'll still see 350-360 rwhp (with dynotune/bolt ons) and it'll be alot more streetable and run better.
I've driven a car with a cc306 on stock heads and it really wasn't much fun. Sure sounded mean as **** at idle though
Yes you'll need a new converter. At least 3000 or that cc306 would be a real dog. Id' recommend 3500 with a low STR to hook up better on the street.

yes any cam over stock needs a stall..too much bucking from cam surge...and ive never seen a 205 or 503 do 350 plus...ive never seen a 306 do 360 plus...
ok its a terrible match with stock heads...i run 12 flat cam only with stock heads...3200 stal land 3.73...say what you want that cam is a good cam, it makes great torque, i can break the tires loose from 40 roll...i cuts 1.62 60' on motor... the car hauls *** and still get 25mpg freeway...
need i say more???
btw all that is with a mail order tune

I also have a cc306 in my LT1 but Mine is not running yet. But hopefully soon it will be. I have heard great things about the 306 but I have also heard some people say that there are much better grinds out there now.

If you have a competent tuner/tune you should experience very little if any cam surge. I had the cc306 on a 110 in my DD (m6 car) and it idled smooth as glass at 1k with the a/c on or off. My car ran extremely well, I never got it too the track, but beat on several cam only ls1's that were in the 11.80-12.0 range. Only mods I had was pacesetter race only lt's, ory, slp 2otl, 4.10s, electric water pump, comp nsa 1.6s. My in house tuners helps alot though...

I have been running the CC306 and 1.6rrs with stock heads for over three years and it absolutely kicks ***. My dyno curve is *identical* to a friends LE2 setup, except I make 8 more ftlbs of torque than he does. He makes 8 more hp than me though. I peak at 371rwhp/358rwtq and he does 379rwhp/350rwtq.
My car is totally streetable and has been since I got a good dyon tune.
