Default Going to a bigger cam?
I have the torquer 2 cam now but i just bought a forged 347 with a set of ported 241's so i want a bigger cam. It has 11.5 to one compression. I already have a fast 78mm to go on it. Also sometime next year i would like to spray 150-200 shot. What cam would you guys recommend? Vindicatior, tsunami, or polluter? Thanks!

that torquer will still be good if your planning on doing alot of driving but if you want max performance the Vindicator of Polluter will be what your looking for. The tsunami is like a compromise between a driver cam and a race cam.

If your A4 you will need atleast a 4k stall for the bigger cams.

I think those heads and intake are gonna hold you back more than the cam but to answer your question I would get something custom spec'd from a sponsor.
