Is the Vig3200 good w/ TR224? I can buy one from a friend for $500. Now I'm concerned if it will be a good set up with the TR-224 on a 114.
I know this cam needs to spin so will it be a good match up?
My needs:
75% street/ 25% strip
Tires:
Nittos street/BFGs strip

Re: Is the Vig3200 good w/ TR224? The Vig 3200 is a perfectg match for that cam. Just be aware that you will most likely experience some converter lockup problems running that cam/converter combo without some aftermarket tuning.

I'm clueless about the A4s. So could you explain to me why I would have lockup probs. I plan on getting LS1 edit. I would have to change when the tranny locks, right?

Re: Is the Vig3200 good w/ TR224? Please explain further. I have this setup and I am experiencing shuddering problems between 40-50mph when the converter locks. I am planning on sending my pcm back to Ed to have him raise the lockup mph to 45+mph.

Re: Is the Vig3200 good w/ TR224? Jim,
Not bagging but, I would expect better times from your setup. Are you running cats? Cutout? Full weight?

I have the comp custom 218/218 .563 114 LSA cam though. Your shuddering is almost like a clunk kind of sound, and the car seems to drag for a split second, then back to normal right? Do you also have a 3 washer trans go?

Re: Is the Vig3200 good w/ TR224? No I do not have a TransGo installed yet.
As for my times. I have only run the ET Drags a few times and they are not working to well for me. The suspension isn't allowing the car to hook like it should be. I am running those times on 17" Nittos. The car is run with full interior. I have onlt removed the spare and jack.
Later.
