Default Really low number...

My friend just did a cam swap in his 02' Z-28 A4 and for some reason his torque seemed low to me. He went to RPM and got one of their biggest cams(stage 3 I believe). He made 378 rwhp and 324 rwtq. His mods are Corsa exhaust, Kooks LTs, Whisper lid, k & n filter, ported tb, RPM cam and a few other little things. His car has 3.23 gears and still has the cats. His car only has 26000 miles on it. Does this seem low to anyone else? Any suggestions? Thx

What cam, was it tuned? The cats are killing power.
The A4's dont make a ton of power.
If it isn't tuned then it needs to be.

The cam specs are as follows: Lift .612 intake and .615 exhaust, duration .244 intake and .248 exhaust on a 114 lsa. Btw the cam is tuned. Thx

big giant cams don't make giant torque for the most part.

You would think it would be more than 324lbs though.
