Suggestions for cam and intake only? I have a 2000 Z28 A4. Getting ready to order Performa built level 2 trans and a 3600-3800 stall. Also going 3.73s I'd love your suggestions for a cam and intake/tb.
Current mods are:
Kooks 1 7/8 lt's
Kooks true duals
SLP cold air kit
Bmr tunnel brace, lcas, Panhard bar, strut tower brace, and weld in sfc.

You have quite a few options! With your stall speed and gearing, there are multiple ones to choose from. It all comes down to how radical you'd like to go. Give us a call at 512-863-0900, and we can help you select the right cam for your wants and needs!

Great mod list! Your going to like that trans and stall. IMO put a set of ported ls6 heads on from Texas speed over a fast intake setup. The fast will end up costing you just as much without the gains of the heads. **** I'd rather put stock ls6 head on and a ls6 intake for about $ 7-900 over a fast. And put it this way, buy and ls6 Intake and heads now than when you have enough money for a fast to complete you H/C setup sell your ls6 for the same price you bought it for lol. Done

I'd go with an LS6 or lightly ported Dorman. For a cam I'd look closely at the Cam motion Titan3 or 4.

Might as well just say "are people still running LS1's in 2015"
I do not see why not...they are proven and make power. Sure milder lobes might be the new craze but there is nothing wrong with XER lobes. I doubt anybody is going to reinvent the wheel for the LS1 18yrs later. If I am not mistaken Pat G made 500whp with a SBE LS1 using XER lobes and had no problems controlling the valves. Personally I would prefer a milder lobe for a street car, but the does not mean there is anything wrong with a 228r or Torquer 2.

Moral of the story...there's only so far that cam theory will get you before you have to test it in a real-world environment. A gain on paper may not produce a gain when running in an engine and vice versa.
