Biggest cam for stock LS1 A4
I have a 1999 TA A4 with a TSP224R cam and supporting mods (springs, oil pump and push rods, the springs are rated at .600). Im installing a Precision 3800 stall and trans cooler and want to install a larger cam. I also have an LS6 intake and long tube headers with true duel exhaust.
My question what size cam should I get???? I want the largest i can go with just the cam swap and springs and the rest. not a DD just a weekend cruiser.
I had a TSP228r before and liked it in my SS. but i think those are small cams now. what is the largest i can go? really want it to thump just a street cruiser

Our Vindicator (though I may be biased) would be my choice. It works extremely well with a 3,800 though we typically recommend going to a 4,000 for guys seeing more track use. It's a 240/244 .601/.596 112+4 and I have a lot of guys using it in weekend street/strip cars with excellent results even with stock heads. I've linked it below for you, and feel free to e-mail or call me if I can help with any questions on it!

Of course, I wouldn't want to drive that on the street. But it'd make a ton up top.
I don't know if a Precision 3800 is a loose or tight converter. The looser it is, the more RPM extension you'll have. Which will make a bigger cam faster as you'll never drop out of that peak range above 5500 or even 6000 if you really push it.

If my low lash solid roller were a hydraulic it would be approximately a 234/242. Stock bottom end LS2, has ported/milled 799s and around 11.2:1 compression. I wouldn't want any bigger.
No way on Earth I would run a larger cam than mine in a street driven LS1 car. Just my $.02 as other people prefer different things.
