I think that is pretty good considering you have a "Built A4 w/3800 Vigilante."

It's holding up well I guess, may consider a slightly bigger cam down the road, to maximize this set up.

^^^Thx...

Ive heard of ppl speaking of tq and hp crossing too soon, what does this mean? Lack of tq through out the HP curve? And does this mainly apply to big cams?

For a 224 cam and crossing at 5.3k RPM, em i spot on?

hp and torque always cross at 5252rpm. its because horsepower is only a calculation based off of torque

hp = torque * rpm / 5252
