Any 400 rwhp 228/228 cars? I was thinking of getting this cam installed in my c5 corvette A4. i have long tubes,CAI,exhaust, and 3000 stall. Im also debating if i should get it on a 112lsa or 114lsa. Im looking to get close to 400 rwhp with a good tune. What do you guys think.

Great cam! I have a 228/228 .588/.588 comp XER 114 LSA +4...Love it. The car made 410rwhp cam only through the exhaust and I just installed PRC LS6 heads same cam. 432rwhp 400rwtq untuned...I expect to make 445 to 450 tuned through the ls6 intake.

you won't get anything near 400 rwhp with a 228 cam in an ls1 a4 vette.
you have the automatic and irs working against your dyno numbers.
i don't know of many cams that will put an ls1 a4 into the 400 rwhp cam only. i think the t-rex and g5x4 are the only ones close, and more often than not...won't do that in a cam-only car.

Im not looking to break any dyno records or anything like that, i just wanted some opinions on what you guys thought. thanks for all the input guys. what i'm mainly looking for is a car thats a daily driver that can hold it's own. if it takes some pp heads than i guess ill have to go that route.

I know someone in town who got @ 405 with a 228 and stock heads, tuned at CAM in Durham, N.C. But he has an M6. You will not get that with an A4. Not that it matters except for bragging rights. IMO a 228/228 is one of the best street cams out there for stock cubes.

Not quite the same but I have a 226/226 setup that makes 414/396. This is on a Z06 though, so LS6 heads and LS6 intake, stock TB, UD pulley, longtubes, x-pipe, tune, heavy motorsport Z06 wheels.
Hope this helps a little anyway....

but you won't see 400 rwhp with that cam alone in your stockish c5...
with heads, yes you'd definitely be close. i also think you'd be close with a 90/90 setup...
intake+tb vs heads? i think heads are cheaper and would give you better gains from idle to redline..over the intake. (dayum those 90/90 setups are salty)

Going to be hard without heads and having an A4. Before my ported TB and Cut out I made 388/375. I bet I am pretty close to 400, but wish I had some heads now. You may not hit 400, but it will be fast and still drive pretty decent.
