That was a custom cam by Geoff at EPS so its not off the shelf nor does he havre it on his site. Alot of guys went with the TR224 ground on a 114 and get the idle raised when you get it tuned. This is a cam Geoff designed when he was at Thunder Racing. My buddy has it and has run 11.60's on motor and 10.50's on a 150 shot in a full weight 99 WS6.

any of the cheatr cams or stealth cams work pretty well as sleepers.

I've never used the GT1 cam, so I don't have any idea of how it sounds or what kind of gains are typical. The GT11 cam will idle at 650rpm, and sound about as stock as can be, even with LT's and off road pipes. It still makes power above 6500rpm as well.

The particular care I'm thinking of was a 2000 C5 A4 convertable, only had a CAI and a torque converter in it. I'll try and get some before/after dynographs this afternoon and post them up. On LS2's with CAI, ported/poshed heads, kooks headers, and the GT11 cam we've seen 98rwhp gains. Not to shaby for a cam tha idles at 650rpm and peaks at about 6500rpm or so. The lobe profiles of this cam are very aggressive.

I found the before/after dyno sheet for the 2001 A4 C5. The baseline dyno curve was with a Vararam, Torque converter, and was tuned by me, and netted 321rwhp on our Mustang MD-1100SE Dyno. After the GT11 Cam with all supporting hardware and another tune by me, it netted 378rwhp, for a net gain of 57rwhp.
