i have the XE 224 114 cam and i love it, but im just not happy with the surge off and on from it. Even though i have edit I cant get everything perfect. If i did mine over again i'd probably get a 220/220 cam or something close to those lines..

some have perfect idles, while other A4's just never take to them just right. Mines one of those that dont like it a whole lot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
