I finally got my springs broken in and took the car up to only 5500 RPM (stock tune) all I can say is WOW.

 

Good deal.. You're gonna dig that cam! I love mine..

 

Congrats on getting the new cam installed! That was my second camshaft in my '02 SS A4, and I loved it. Let us know how it does on the dyno and at the track.

I am looking forward to seeing how your car does. I am waiting on the same cam along with a few other goodies.

 

This is my first cam and I love it. I will be taking next Monday for a dyno tune. Hopefully it will make some good numbers as well.

 

I've had mine for about 6 months, is your valvetrain loud like a sewing machine?

 

I have wanted to put a cam in my a4 for sometime, but keep the stock heads.I was looking at the 224 but i've noticed that it is becoming old news. What are the specs on ur cam and where did you get it?

 

My TSP 228R is a 228/228 .588/.588 111LSA.. I ordered mine from TSP. Here is their link. Great service. http://www.texas-speed.com/

 

I'm coming up on a year with mine in the car. Mine sounds the same as it did from day one. You might wanna check and see if a rocker arm came loose.

 

My valvetrain is a little louder, but can hardly hear both inside the car and out.

Thank ya!

 

yes there is this sound associated with this setup and most other XE-R lobe cams.

 

Yeah my valvetrain is kinda loud. I am on my second set of heads and the same thing. I am still using the stock rockers though, so could they be a problem? The guy who did the install said it was normal for my cam. Any ideas what to try out to quiet things down? Thanks

 

The sound you are hearing is not a problem, rather a side effect to the fact that the valves are opening farther, and closing faster, all by virtue of a stiffer spring. Each time one hits the seat it makes a little click, and a bunch of them make a sweing machine sound. Even my little TR220 cam is noiser than stock.

 

Thanks, that makes sense. The guy said the same thing.

 

Yeah the sewing machine sound is way more audible than stock.. I misunderstood you and thought you meant that it was louder 6 months down the road than when you first installed the cam..

 

I Have This Same Cam And Will Be Installing It Pretty Soon.i Can't Wait To Install It And Feel The Difference.but Cams With These Aggressive Ramps Make Noise.

 

I have a 228/228 114 +4. Nice cam. Good power, decent manners.

 

Im really ready to get mine in. It's sitting in my floor in the box lookin sexy. Just waiting on all my valvetrain parts from TSP.
