I'm going to put a cam (possibly heads too)on my car, and have it down to two. It's down to an Allan Futral FMS cam (F4, which is 226/226/.581/114), and a Cartek A4 2X cam (which is 224/228/.588/114). My car is a 2001 A4 with an FLP level IV trans, SY3500/3.42 car with FLP headers on it, Magnaflow catback, HallTech TRAP. The car is totally street driven, and driveability and reliability is my main concern over extracting every last ounce of power out of it (if that were the case, I'd be using a much bigger cam, and a different converter). Any help/advice/tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

i dont think you could go wrong with either cam

 

i agree !

 

TSP 225 , but out of those two I'd go with the FMS. Gonna have more power from the added duration than that little but of added lift. I'd step up to a 112LSA to bring the power down a bit. Or at least get them on a 110ICL with 4* of advance.

 

Being an A4, I don't want to go with the 112 LSA, because I don't want it to be lumpy, and it'll be easier to tune with the 114. I might just look into that TSP225. Thanks for the tip!

 

To be honest with you. I have an a4 with the TSP228R. It is on a 112. It really isn't bad at all. It surges a little now that I've dropped the idle to like 875. But lower LSA gives you the power a little lower in the RPM range. At least try to go with the 110ICL and 4* of advance.

Something like the 224 duration cams should be even better idle with a 112. But it is your preference of course.
