these stupid names for cams have got to stop. Its a weak marketing ploy thats just stupid now. Ron Jeremy? Does that mean its big or that its ugly/hairy/washed up?

Gigantor? So what.

They're just lobes. And none of those are 100% right for your car by the furthest stetches of the imagination.

I'd say the TSP MS3 is a pretty large cam if you wanna stay at all streetable....

It's all personal preferance to what the "biggest cam" you can put in a car....

Solid roller, huge lifts, massive durations, and LOW lsa'a.....it can all be handicapped by large stalls, big gears, and good tuning.....oh yea, and a little flycutting!


But, for a realistic approach to what can actually be used in a A4 car....
Trex
FMS Pornstar cam
Gigantor
MS3
yada yada yada

I just put in a 244/250 .615/.615 116+4 LSA in my A4 Monday. I'm going to the track this weekend to see what it can do I hope I'm not dissapointed.

If I were to choose a cam to go with my stock heads today I would without hesitation choose the T-Rex. Three or four of the top 5 cam-only LS1's in the country are using that cam. I think it's the best drag racing cam available for the stock heads. 10's are very attainable with that cam and the right race weight and suspension setup.
