Thoughts on this CAM

FMS: 226"/226" .575"/.575" 114LSA

Right now I'm hitting around 352RWHP. That's with FIPK/FLP-LTS/PORTED TB/TUNE.

I'm trying to find a cam that will get me in the 390-400 range w/o sacrificing a smooth idle. If it's possible. I don't mind a semi aggresive idle, but I don't want it too rough. This is my daily driver.

that idle part is out the window bud. Trust me, once you go LOPE, you cant go back

That duration in the "aggresive LOPE" range? Am I gonna have to step down to a 224?

Do you have a A4 or a M6? That will determine if you get close to those hp numbers.

I don't think you will have to worry about a radical idle with that cam. You should get what you want with it.

Well I'm not really aiming for "stock" idle. I don't mind it idling a little rougher than stock. I just don't want it super aggresive. I am running an M6 so there's some advantage making numbers. Hopefully I'll be able to run into someone with a similar CAM.

I used to run a 226/226 .570/.570 114 Xtreme RPM. Made in the 390s with an A4/PYE3400 and a set of $500 ported LS1 heads.

Wouldn't do it again, though.
