i was just searching around and saw some info on the new TSP 224/227. that seems like a cam close in specs to the one you posted earlier. Would this be a good cam for my setup?

 

This is the one I would recommend as per your criteria:

220/226 .605/.600 110+2 LSA,

PM me for specs if you like.

224 cams are perfect daily driver cams, although mine is a little lopey haha! Overlap is a good thing and my setup peaked real close to where you want to shift. My setup is within 5hp from 5700rpm all the way to 6500rpm. Most traditional 224 cams will fall on their face pretty hard past 6000 rpm. I basically wanted a car with more power everywhere, and thats what I got!

 

Where did you purchase your cam from. You don't have heads do you?

 

Nitroused383 got his cam from Bauer Racing Engines and yes he has 243 heads stock with DIY valve job.

 

Yes I do have unported 243 heads and I am not saying my cam is the best or anything. Look at the power curve and not the overall peak numbers. You can't look at peak numbers when buying cams, buy them for your inteded rpm range and usage. I wanted to show you the powerband of a properly specced 224 cam. I like Predator-Z specs for the 224 cam on a 110 LSA.

 

o i know not to look at peak numbers. thats why i dont want a trex or something. i wanted a good curve with torque everywhere.

 

I'm still new to reading chassis dyno results for stalled A4 combos, but is a 3400-stall converter the reason the red torque curve is dead below 3400 rpm? Or is the cam just too big to build torque below 3400? I'd hate to copy this then have to quit using OD.

 

ECS has a great DD cam for a stalled A4. 224/230 .581 .581@114 Pair it up with the matching stall and it is a smooth, power under the curve type cam. finish it off with a reputable tuner tune. The cam will idle nice .. Its a near identical cam to mine.

You really do need heads in the future, otherwise youll never see the max potential of a cam.

 

It's actually not a big cam at all. The graph is overlayed with my baseline before I added the cam and 243 heads. It gained power over the stock cam everywhere, there are a lot of cams that lose power down low and this is not one of them. Its a 6 speed manual, where did you read I had a stall converter? I can cruise in 6th gear at 1000 rpm, not that I do, but the power is there. If you want much more torque than that get a diesel.

 

IDK why I thought it was a stalled A4, but thank you for explaining.
