Default What do you guys think about this setup?

I plan to keep the stock 346 bottom end with this setup:

LPE LS6 62cc CNC ported 2.02"/1.57" heads complete, flow ~310cfm at .600

LS6 port matched intake

The camshaft that was recommended to me for this setup is a Comp 224/232 .585 INTAKE .590 EXHAUST ON A 114LSA

Kooks 1-3/4" LTs w/ ORY

My goal is +430whp.... Is it possible with this setup?

I'm looking for a nice idle and great sound from the camshaft... has anyone heard this cam?

Thanks for your help

You might be better off asking somebody who works at a performance shop like mti. Their # is 2818708787. they would be able to tell you what kind of power you will make. Either way good luck.

Your #s are about right for that setup if your a m6 an a4 will always dyno lower.

not sure why they are telling you to have such a large difference between intake and exhaust duration.

99-TR230/236-112 Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"Split Pattern" - 230/236 .592/.602 112 LSA 2400-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. 3200+ stall, 3.42+ gear, computer tuning required. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.

That one would be more radical than the one you picked out, but not too bad. There is also the 224/224 from thunder, which is a really popular and proven cam. Great for a daily driver too.

If you did a 224/224 cam, fast90 intake, heads, and all the other boltons then you could hit 420-430 if you have a m6.

I have the 228r from Texas Speed (very similar) 228/228 .588/.588. This thing rocks.
