Default What cam?

Hey guys I have a 02 TA and I live in Cali. I want to put a cam in it but I don't really know much about them. I don't want an extreme cam or anything like that since I do drive the car a lot. I just want a cam that will give me good hp and tq. The only mods I have so far is a intake headers y pipe and a cat back. Thanks

Other factors play into choosing a cam. Power Band, what are your future mods that you want to do to your car, M6 or A4 etc.

For just a daily driver any off the shelf cam under a 230/230 would be streetable.

Will you need an emissions friendly cam?

At any rate, talk to Martin from Tick. He's awesome.

I'd be glad to help you pick out a cam if you need professional help.

IIRC, 227/235 110+3

He has a thread going here with lots of information and guys reporting back with dyno results and videos, etc

He may rec a different cam for you, though. He really thinks through your needs and the whole package.
