I am really thinking about selling my ms4 for this cam, I am wondering how much difference there is in the cam? my ms4 isn't the greatest as a daily driver. I think I would really love more down low torque than my ms4 but still pull like a freight train.

I was personally impressed with how smooth this car drove. quite a few big sticks feel pretty rough down low and this one ran smooth as class. Also the torque difference between this cam and many others was outstanding. I don't think joey mentioned it but one of the primarys on this car was smashed about shut and then patched back together by an exhaust shop. If this thing had a nice set of Kooks or ARH, a good intake and 90mm, throttle body it would be one hell of a freak. I don't even think the throttle body was ported on this car.

We could argue about this all day but the point of this thread is Tick Performance's new cam. It makes great torque b/c of an earlier IVC point which creates more cylinder pressure hence more torque. You would be surprised how certain cams can make 30-40 more rwtq at part throttle around 2k because the cam has a higher DCR. Throw some heads on this setup and increase the SCR to 11.5 and the torque would really pick up.

i love how everyone says this...yet no one considers how often they'll be pulling 2300rpm at WOT. 99% of the time you're at that low of an rpm you're hardly on the gas in an effort to go fast. i'd guess the part throttle differences of the cams at low rpm and low load are within 10lb ft which would be unnoticable given the conditions.
but...whatever.

nice results similar to what i made cam only...in a A4, with ls6 intake...
although i did have better bolt ons...i would seriously look into this cam if i didnt already have one...should be the TREX KILLER

no you wouldn't start a race at that low of a rpm, but you telling me you arn't going to drive the car in that rpm range, or does your car magically go from idle to 3k rpms.
Hey they are the ones to claim great low end power with a big stick so i want to see it
