Default Cheater Cam ?'s

Just wondering if I would need LT's if I got the cheater. I was also wondering with the mods in my sig, about how much hp/tq would I gain?

You don't need LT's to run a cam, but probably to get the most power it would be preffered. Not really sure on the number but avg. numbers on a4's with cams are 350-375rwhp

This cam was designed for stock exhaust manifolds, so you definately don't need longtubes. You will make more power though. The CheaTR cam with heads and stock exhaust is good for around 400 rwhp, and more with longtubes.

I got 388 rwhp N/A with the cheatr,patriot heads and stock manifolds and cats. Could probably hit 400 with a fast intake. My car is running 12.3s @113 off the bottle and 11.5s @ 124 on the 100 shot. This is with mediocre 1.90 and 1.77 60 ft times on a m6. If I could get the car to hook up, times would be even better. It looks and sounds stock too.

From what I have read, it was designed for the stock manifolds. But its not like its going to hurt anything if you go with LT's.

Then again the reason for getting that cam is to pass emissions, thus you need the stock manifolds and cats in the stock location. So if you do plan on getting LT's I would step up the cam size a bit.
