A4 W/224

Hey guys I just wanted to know how many guys out there with the TR224. I would like some feedback, I am thinking of going with this cam and either buyin laptop/LS1 Edit or getting a custom tune from RWTD. Thanks for the info guys.

i dont have the TR one, but i have the Comp 224/224 .563 114 which is very similair. Great mild cam!! You will have to raise idle and tweak a few other things on edit for it though. Most A4's see 365-375hp with it cam only and full bolt on... mine saw 399.9 with TEA 1.5 heads and this cam

onebadz-yes, I run the TR224 @ 114, and its a nice all around cam, but not what I am looking for as far as strip then street use with Nitrous. Will make you a great deal on a slightly used cam package, cam, springs, retainers...or just cam. I also use Diablo, and have written several tips/tricks or recommended usages of the diablo in the tune section. My tune is actually very clise to what I wanted AFR wise, timing, and all that, just needs to be fine tweaked, and it would be good. But, as luck would have it, I want bigger and a split for Nitrous.
