I no for a fact your going to have a PTV issue with the cam you have listed and the 59cc heads with 2.05 intake valve,,,,,,,,,Reason I know is because I have 64cc 243 heads with 2.055 intake valves and after measuring PTV I couldn't use a 232 intake duration like I wanted to.

Ignore the above if your going to cut valve reliefs into your factory pistons.

Also I went with GM White injectors,,,they are 42lb behind the LS1 fuel pump.

Also I went with a 228 intake duration to keep from having PTV issues with my factory pistons.

what was the complete specs on the cam you were going to run?
i am running an lq9 with tea stg3 heads milled .020 so should be about 59ccs and have the same valves as the OP, and i was actually speced out a slightly bigger cam by patrick G and he does this stuff for a living. with the cam he speced out i would still have .070 ptv clearance

Well if you pay me like you paid him then I will tell you my cam specs

Anyways I tried to get free PTV info on 243 heads with 2.055 intake valves from the fine members here on LS1tech with everyone obviously telling me I needed to measure PTV.

I called a extremely reputable LS1tech sponsor about my heads and factory LS1 bottom end and a 232 XER lobe and the sponsor obviously said I needed to measure ,but without measuring he thought PTV would be extremly close with the 2.055 intake valve with .051 MLS headgasket.

So I just went on and pulled my motor and let the guy that did the work to my heads measure my PTV and this was the best duration we felt was good.Best of all I didn't have to pay him a dime for the PTV measurement and cam spec,,,,but then agian I have known him for along time.

Also I would like to add that some companies sink the valve seats deeper in the heads when they install the larger valve seats to create more PTV. I don't know if TEA does this ,but that could also be playing a role in your cam specs compared to mine. I personally think sinking the valve seats deeper than factory is a bad pratice. Which my valve seats are not sunk deeper than factory.

Lastly I know some people have PTV issues with milled factory 2.0 intake valved heads when using TSP's MS3 and MS4 cams when using the factory pistons.

Hope this helps

Also for the OP I had my computer flashed by Vengeance last Thursday so I could drive my car around to make sure everything is ok. The car runs great and idles great and i'm using the GM white 42lb injectors and I bought mine from Katech for $239.00 for the set of 8.

Hopefully I will be getting it dyno tuned next week if Vengeance has an opening.

I personally wouldn't spend any money on that 10bolt,,reason I say this is because you should be making over 400hp to the wheels.

There is people on here claiming to be making 430hp to the wheels with an A4 that are using the factory 10bolt with the factory 3.23 gear and 28" slicks with 1.57 60ft times.

I personally have never seen a factory 7.5 10bolt with stand that kinda of HP along with launching that hard and the 10bolt not fail.

You might get away with it for several passes ,but it's not going to last long.

I too will have to invest in a stronger rearend.

I'm a M6 and I'm going to trailer mine to the track to see what gear I am in crossing the 1/4 mile mark before I decide what rearend gear I want to go with.

Reason for trailering it is if the factory 10bolt doesn't hold up.

Also have you upgraded your A4 yet?

Also ment to tell you earlier if you change your injectors you will have to get your computer retuned.

They are actually 38lb injectors,but when they are behind the LS1 fuel pump they become 42lb.

GM part number 24508208.

I bought them from Katech for $239.92 plus shipping.Katech still has them for sale on ebay.
