TSP 225 questions 225/225, .589/.589 112+2 lsa
1- Anyone running this cam in an A4? How does it idle? Other symptoms?
2- Any track #'s ? (Planning for low 11's, H/C+ bolt ons and weight savings)
3- Has any one sprayed this cam yet?? How did it do? (Plan 150 shot max)
4- Is that cam an XE-R lobe??

I have this cam in a M6 - it is fairly aggressive. I don't know how it would idle with an A4 (the Avalanche is my only auto). I need to get mine tuned so it won't die when I have the AC on and turn the wheel (at idle). Lumpity Lump Lump. Course I've only had the cam in for 29 hours ;] Perhaps the computer will *learn* a little with some miles. I love it though - real strong/smooth power over 3k.

I assume that your #'s in your sig are prior to your cam swap.
What PP heads did you get. I would like 5.3 race heads, but they are a little over my budget. I think I'll have to settle for 5.3 stage II's.
i've been in contact with TSP, always ready to answer questions. They've put a 225 114lsa in a C5 but I didn't get a feedback for an A4 on a 112+2.
One thing I could kill for a a comparison between it and the 224/0.581/112 cam.

The real bonus to these heads are the goodies they come with (nice spring, ti retainers, good valve seals, seats, etc). The CNC porting looks good - but nothing like hand polished MTIs or similar.
The price can't be beat, and doesn't require a core.

I know a 114 would make life easier with an A4, however what I would like to know is if the 2 degrees advance in the grind would make up for that vacuum loss and tame it a little.
Perhaps someone at TSP would like to clear that up for me. Or someone that has it in an auto.
