You might want to consider getting a few more bolt ons first and maybe a good set of heads. These cams are definitely in my playing field, but they are gonna be a dog on the street for daily driving unless you have a premier tune and some gears or a decent stall.

Cool

They're all .600" lift across the board?

Some "square" lobes up at the top of the food chain...

Yea, like at LEAST 4.10's if you want to drive that thing on the street at all. Those cams are definitely going to be absolute dogs on the street.

Give me a Comp XE-R lobe anyday for the street. Mild manners and excellent power! Chop sounds cool, but you still need to drive the damn thing.

Hey gollum....why did you roll your eyes at the ramp rate?

If it is between the xe and xe-r lobes it would be a very good performer.

The futral cams are a good example.

What do you guys think of this cam? It uses the same lobes as the bad boy cams....the zcam lobes.

Think I should go out on a limb and try it out?

A mate here in OZ had a 232-242-110+0 with around 0.550 lift and it was gay on his stock heads 346 with a 3800 stall. It had no guts at all till 3500RPM (as stated) so needs a 4400+ stall minimum on a A4. It idled nice and lopey though. Definately not a streeter IMO. Made same power as my 212-220-112+2 with a 3200 stallie, so needs headwork to really shine.

What about gears? If he was using that cam on stock gears with a stall...especially 2.73....it is going to feel worthless

Yeah, but just reading the way he wrote it. I was not expecting "gay" tp jump out in that sentence.
