can i make 420??
i made 428 with the budget tsp ls6 head and a 224 with a fast 90/90 that was on an m6. My a4 conversion should be done in the next couple day so ill keep posted what the auto numbers are.
well i have an auto so i dont think i will see 420 with cam only...but i was thinking of getting a bigger cam but i **** a 6k...would it benifit me to go with a bigger cam or just stick with the 224??
Ive seen plenty of A4 cars with small 224 cams with heads make 400 rwhp with and LS6 manifold and stock TB. they say the 90/90 is good for 20-25 rwhp depending on your set-up. I would stick with the 224 to see if you get the numbers you want and if you dont then go bigger.

I made 420 with a 238 cam, 403ci LS2, fast 90/90 and a vig 4000 stall unlocked. This was through an auto and a 9in with 370 gears. Granted I made around 550 RWTQ as well.
So I guess I would say it's possible, I just think it's going to be tough.
About the 224 cam. I had one of them at first. Not bad for a first cam. Then I went to a 232 cam and now I have a 238 cam, but that's because of more cubic inches.

I have a fm-13 and a 3600 yank with ported stock heads. I haven't been on the dyno, but it runs high 12's @3600ft with shitty 2.4 60fts. I drive it everyday also. I wouldn't worry about going to a larger cam if you wanted to.
no im not worried about a larger cam for drivability issues, its the fact that i shift at 6k rpms. would it be worth it to go bigger or would it be a waste. i mean i know that im short shifting with a 224 a 6k. would i still make more power in the rpms im using if i go bigger as oppsed to the 224?
Check out the numbers in my sig. Since you have long tubes and a cutout you'll prolly make more. 420 is possible, and if you don't get it with the 90/90 throw on an electric water pump.
