help choosing a CAM
looking for a fully streetable cam with good manners (mild-moderate) since i drive 15k-ish a year and this is my only car for now
looking for something stock-ish, nice idle but nothing too choppy, doesnt have to be too emission friendly... gotta love OBDII
also dont wanna kill my gas toooo much LOL...
i have an A4 so i believe that changes my options
(ive been contemplating a yank 3400 to compliment the cam)
+ LT's ORY LS6 intake

almost anything on a 224-227 duration on a 114 lobe seperation would give excellent driving characteristics and still give plenty of power. I'm using a TR227/224-114 in my 98, and drive about 70 miles a day, but still dyno'd at 400hp with Cam, LS6 intake and LT.

http://www.vincihighperformance.com/...%20LS1%202.htm give vinci a call. i had the 062 in the wife's car. the 079 might be a better choice if you want closer to stock sound. here's clips of the wife's car with the 062 cam.

Hey man,
Don't even consider a cam without a stall. I recommend yanks ss3600. I love mine and my car is my dd and my only vehicle. I drive it in DC every day with an f13 cam (230/232 on 114 lsa. I am really happy with it. It may be a little big for your taste but it is definately ok for a daily driver car (just get the supporting mods to go with it). My buddy has a cartek 224/228 cam and it drives almost like stock and has great top end pull combined with his heads. I'd go with f13 from futral if I were to do it all over again for sure. I am definately happy with it.
Good luck, get a 3500+ stall or you will wish you had gone bigger.
