Question Upgrading from the LS6 cam...

My car is a stock headed '98 A4 car, right now I have a YANK 3200 w/ 3.23s, mid lengths, ASP pulley and Hooker catback w/ cutout. The car will see some 100-150 wet shots and most likely I'll step up to a 3600-3800 Vig.

I am looking for some more bark & bite & will be getting a full tune put in right after the cam swap.

At what point am I going to have too much cam? I know it is an old 1 million times asked question, but I don't want overkill & I don't want to wish I went bigger again...

I definately need to pass up my 11.70s form last year on a NOS 5177 kit!

Thanks!!!

ok so what springs do u plan on running? single or dual.... if u run dual u can run the bigger cams.

my reccomendation is if u run a shot of N20 y not run the ASA hot cam it loves nitrous, and I am assuming u have LS6 springs and I think you can use them for this cam, not to mention the cool idle.
