What kind of reduction in driveability are we talking about with that stall? i have a pretty small cam on stock heads and when i lockup at 1000rpm's in OD there's no drivability, the car powers fine until i reach unlock tps. Does kinda sound like a sewing machine.
Dude with TSP 231/237/cams/2.73's up there, post up a dyno when you get that thing tuned. Should be pretty crazy 400whp on an A4 with over 500wft/lbs eh?

Hey, thanks for all the replies. I think it may be more beneficial for me to go (at this time) with the cam that has a more proven track record. 918's for near 2 yrs sounds good to me if the cams make similar numbers (I guess for the exact HP difference jury is still out on that one, eh?) It seems like I might get a bit better "drivability" out of the FMS cam as well, so thats another plus for it in my book.
SouthFL.02.SS- thanks for your info, dyno graph, good numbers BTW. I didnt know that the TSP lobes were that "soft" so that more than I knew yesterday. The TSP 231/237 on a 114 might move the powerband up too far in the RPM range even though I going to be using a SS4000 with whatever cam I choose. Thanks Again.
Anyone else want to try a persuade me (with facts, no bias
) to go with the TSP?

No problem, glad to be of service.
By the way, I'm runnin' Comp 918's.
You'll be fine with either cam...

I dont know if this helps at ALL but at the present time, I have a basic edit tune (no dyno time yet) and just recently installed a FMS F11 spected out at 228/230 575/597 on a 112 +4, with the same tune as I had with my Hotcam the drivability of the FMS cam is leaps ahead. BLKWS6 on here and I installed a TSP 231/237 in a guys car this weekend on a stock tune, M6, and am looking forward to the results both with and without tuning. I hope both(mine & the Firehawk) cars will be dyno tuned soon and see how they compare, as the set ups are very simular, except for the cam choice.
