Most powerful (streetable) cam without notching the pistons? Okay, I'm sick of having a bolt on car. Freaking sick. Maybe someday I will get a stroker (sig) but I am done waiting. Screw it. Maybe I'll sell it or keep it for the future if I ever get it. I really like the TEA 5.7 heads so I may pick them up. What is a good cam to match up with it? I do not care about dyno #'s, or even e.t's. Only trap speed, I'm staying at full weight. I don't want it to die at stop lights, be hard to start or surge too much. I will install it myself, so notching the pistons is a no go. Will run dual springs. Recommendations?
Plus the guys at texas speed are very good to deal with

I would ask Brian @ TEA what he suggests and I would ask Allan @ FMS the samething.
While on the small side these days, I still like the 224 cams either XE-R or the TR. TSP has a 225 that's supposed to be more powerful than the typical 224 but very streetable. If a ~231/237 will fit that might be a reasonable choice too or something similar.

Our 231/237 camshaft will easily fit without notching pistons. With proper tuning, you won't have any driveability problems. I ran this cam in my '02 SS A4 for quite a while with no problems whatsoever. With all of the bolt-on mods, we've seen as much as 414 RWHP with stock cylinder heads. Results will certainly vary with mods. It will typically gain a solid 50 RWHP with stock cylinder heads.
Feel free to give us a call if you have any other questions. We also have a new 233/239 cam that we're getting ready to release that will be killer.

I'll let you know at the all nighter what I think about my 231/237 cam. Driveablility is damn good and it made some great numbers on the dyno so I doubt I'll be disappointed.

I really like my TSP 231/231. With a set of PP 5.3's I made 395 through an auto w/ 3400 stall. And it is very streetable in my opinion. TSP is a great company to deal with.
