A4 Cam Question.... Help
I currently have a TR 224 561 112 in my car now.. Will I benefit from running this cam? MMS 229 581 114? Will it work better than current setup?
I have bolt ons, a vig 3600 and 3.42's

Re: A4 Cam Question.... Help
I have a question about the TR224 cam you have in the car now. How is the Mid range power of you car? I am looking into getting a 224 cam and want to have good power all around. I already have a Y3000. I just dont want to lose to much on the low side.

Re: A4 Cam Question.... Help
The TR 224 will have alot down low.. It might lack some up top, but it makes a good bit down low and midrange.. With this cam and bolt-ons, my car went 11.94 @ 113mph w 1.64 60ft and a vig 2800

Re: A4 Cam Question.... Help
Sounds like a better cam to me. What the experts tell me, even with tuning, LS1 Edit, a 112 LSA sucks for a A4 car. You can do it, but better off not. Terrible time tuning idle, and not a great power band. What were your experiences? Thats why I'm going with a 114.

Re: A4 Cam Question.... Help
I'm wondering the same about the 112 in the a4
I just ordered a 222/224 556/568 112Lsa..
and now after reading many posts i'm questioning my choice. So how was idle tuning 99taws6 ///i'm running the stock convertor (in a vette).
Would i have been better off with my other choice of 224/230/ 581/588 114LSA???
Please any help here i can always cancel the order before Monday afternoon..

Re: A4 Cam Question.... Help
I know a couple guys that have the 112lsa in an A4 car... all you need to do is some good tuning and you will be alright. I just bought the same cam and will be installing it next month <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Your not going like the way the car drives with the stock converter. You will need a converter especially if its on a 112. Dont get me wrong, alot of a4 drivers have used a cam ona 112 but they have converters. Id say get a converter and make it work.

Re: A4 Cam Question.... Help
I'd say you should see an improvement in top end MPH with a slightly better ET. If I were you however, I would have applied the money you spent on the new cam to a set of good flowing cylinder heads instead. There's alot of horsepower to be gained with a well prepared set of heads. I think you would be surprised at how much even with with your current cam grind. Just my opinion. TJ
