228r or polluter for DD Im really interested in the 228r or polluter for my 01 z28 a4 with a conplete 98 ls1 swap. It's going to be a DD cam. As of right now my mods are longtubes magnaflow catback ls6 manifold and 3.23 gears.
(I think that's right it's GU5)
No track time for a while so its purely street car. Maybe a race once or twice a month.
What stall would you recommend for this cam? I researched and a 3200 is most recommened
My hp goals would be to break 420hp with tsp true duals setup with either one. Is that close to possible? From what I understand is that of the 2 the 228r is easier on a DD even tho drivability is mostly in the tuners hands. I dont want to replace springs or anything every few thousand miles. PTV is a big concern. Iv seen alot say the polluter is a max effort cam.
Any other info you can give me about it would be great too.
I would love to keep up with a buddy of mine with an 02 ss with a polluter cam mid lengths 4.10s T56 or at least a car or so behind.

Polluter cam would just be retarded on your car for a dd... 242/244 right? Those 2 cams are not even close. That big of a cam with a 3200 stall would run like ****. Now a 228r and a 3200-3600 stall would run damn good

Yea I know opposite sides of spectrum there lol. When I said 3200 is recommended most I meant for 228r. Should have specified.
Why retarded? Just cuz it's a donkey dick cam and whatnot? I'm mostly leaning to 228 but some people are claiming 370ish on a dyno and tick claims 417 with polluter with true duals and long tubes. Pretty sure that's apples to oranges comparison right?

Iv been looking at cams for a few months. And liked results of the 228. Only reason I even consider the polluter is being in my friends ss with is. Straight monster. I'll more than likely go with 228.

You should run the biggest you can get if you plan on beating on it.

I run a base dyno run before actual mod in order to see closer actual benefit of work. Otherwise one get no real data on improvements.

I'm usually at 40-50 in city. Main road speeds are 40-45 but I'll be unlocked most of the time.
If 228 is enough to make 400 why did ls1wallen make 382? I want 400+ to the wheels. I'll be throwing ported 241s too.
