After reading your thread I talked to Patrick G about a custom cam for my car. I am still trying to convince myself that you don't need a big cam to make power.
I agree your car makes great power, but I think your entire car is very well thought through and that's why it halls *****. If I run anywhere near to that fast I would be happy. Great combo!

I was on 16" MT drag radials when I ran the 11.29s. It is a little slower with the 28" drag slicks and the heavy 17" stock front wheels, but it is a very efficient set up and fun to drive. The custom cam spec'd to match the 243s, the tune and the Circle D converter matched to compliment the powerband plays a huge role in why the cars runs as well as it does.
A lot of people try throwing a random cam and budget converter in a car and wonder why they are as much as a full second slower. I've done it myself and learned that it all has to work together or it's likely going to be a disappointing outcome.

I have this cam except 113 lsa in my truck and based on my EFI live logging, peak power occurs around 6300-6400 rpms. I find it interesting that your power falls off around 6200 with a less cubes and a higher LSA.
Regarding the cam, I have no prior experience tuning cams, and I have this thing idling and driving just like stock. Very, very easy to tune.

nice! cant wait to get my 226 234 113lsa eps cam in!!! if i can get anywhere near these results ill be happy... Hoping to pick up 30-40 horsepower from the tr220... (370 rwhp on a stingy mustang dyno now) we'll see 
TR220 just doesnt carry the power past 5500 rpm. Going to make sure i use the same dyno so i know the change. When i swapped the stock manifolds and flowmaster out for the llp headers and magnaflow i picked up 30 rwhp on the same dyno.

We have Hooker LT headers and the dyno pulls were done with the cut-out open and the converter locked.
FWIW- Our first H/C set up in our other car had MTI S2R heads and the C1 cam (222/222 on a112lsa) and it only put down 408 rwhp with an aggressive tune.
This EPS cam set up has a very conservative tune. I feel good about that since we bracket and index race.

The car was never dyno'd with the converter unlocked. We never had a need to really. Our goal was to get the WOT tuning dialed in. The dyno numbers were just a sweet bonus and very good indication of what the car was capable of at the track.

I would greatly appreciate any input and direction on my build .I have a 2000 TA ls1,A4. 3.23 10 bolt.1 3/4 headers,3"Y-pipe4" I-pipe.fast 92mm combo.trick flow 220cc heads,64cc..I am buying a circle-D converter.what injectors?what stall?I want all the parts picked out before I talk to Patrick-G or Geoff.

We knew our baby cam was going have good low end TQ and mid range HP so we chose to stay with a tighter stall converter to make use of the low end power that was going to be availble. We went with the Circle D 3B as a test actually and it's (3500ish with our set up). It feels nice and tight around town, has good low/mid range torque multiplication and really performed well at the track. We would probably would have seen better track results with the 4C with this set up, but once we felt how nice and streetable the converter felt, we had no desire to swap back.
Once you choose the cam (so we can get a feel of the expect powerband) and decide on the primary purpose of of the car Chris at Circle D can set you up with the right converter. I have tested several Circle D converters for various purposes (1E, 2E, 3B, 4C,5C and a few others they offer) and they each have special characteristics to make a given combo shine.
Just let me know if I can help in any way.
