Default Camshaft Ideas...

I've got a 3500 Stall converter and a set of 918's in the car right now to handle the GT2+3 I'm currently running. I'm interested in going with something bigger, but don't want to change springs. What do you guys suggest looking at to make a little more power? 114 LSA or higher is a must, as this is an auto, and I don't want a PITA to drive.

Thanks for the input...

How much would you sell the old cam for? Might be interested if the miles aren't too high. Thanks,
Matt

Scott, I think you'd pick up alot of power with a cam similar to mine but on a 114 XER lobe.. Comp grind 228 288 .588 .588 114LSA.. I really wouldn't go much past .595 with the 918s.. If you're never gonna spray, maybe go with a small reverse split for max NA power like a 230 228.. It's to bad we don't have flow sheet from your heads.. That would help alot..

You know it has to be said....TR224

Without a spring change and having an A4, the TR224 will be a nice addition. You'll gain some monster torque.
