Default Help on picking a cam

I have an 02 A4 with pacesetter headers, and ORY and a cutout along with an airlid and a billet throttle body. I ordered Mti's stage 2E heads and the car is going to the shop on the 27th . I cant decide on a cam for my daily driver.. what do yall think i should go with?? David Coates told me to go with a 3200 stall and MTI's R1 cam (232/236 .575 .578 114 LSA) is this a good setup??? It is going to be tuned but i want a mid to high rang cam with a very aggresive lope to it . Any suggestions?? and what can i expect as far as RWHP and RWTQ?? Thanks

I'd say go w/ a F11-12 cam if your looking for that mid to high range. A4's are better suited w/ mid range cams, especially considering your stall I'd say to not get too big. Good luck.

hey man, run the 2e and x1... thats what i plan on running now. ive done a whole but loads of research and i like the numbers that the people put down with the 2e and x1. if you go on mti site...all those people running 2e and x1 are putting down 440rwhp damn near on 6 speeds. so with an auto you maybe at 420ish or so..thats pretty damn bad..this one guy with a 4000 stall with 2e and x1 and jet hots put down 440rwhp..i dont know how he pulled that off, but he has the dyno sheet to prove it..
