need a cam that has a lumpy idle, that requires no tune and a small TC? i am looking for a cam that has a lumpy idle, strong torque and good midrange, that doesnt change gas mileage very much, and requires no tune, can be run with springs that dont need to replaced every six months, that will work with a small toque converter like a 2200 stall. anyone got an ideas on which cam i should run? vids

thunder racing tr220 or tr224 on a 112lsa if you want more lump, 114lsa if you want it to work better with your car. run some decent dual springs and should last you a good amount of time.

2200 stall is like nothing... i dont even know who sells it... stock converters are 1900 i believe... and you should go with a thunder racing 224 on a 114lsa with a 3000 stall converter, will still keep good driveability and its a nice mid sized cam. as long as you dont mind knowing a lot of ppl have it, if u wanna be different order up a custom size from a company.

W/ ls6 intake, maybe 375 locked/360 unlocked if you're lucky.

You're not going to get 400/400 on an A4 cam only that requires no tune, and even if you could you'd hate it with a low stall. Either lower your goals or compromise.

There is no cam swap that requires no tune to be optimized.
GT2-3, LS6 or similar will run on stock tune but will not be optimized.
TUNE makes or brakes the performance of a cam, otherwise why bother IMO.
