Default What cam?

What cam should I get? I live here in California so ...you know how that goes. My friend has a 230/230 114lsa with some LS6 heads(i think) and full exhaust. He's a A4 and he said he has like 440 rwhp. Anyway that's about the rwhp I want so I wanted some suggestions from you guys. What heads should I go with? AFR 205? What heads will I get more power out of?

i'd ask to see a dyno, that's an awful high number coming from a mild head/cam combo through an a4. 205 afrs are good for making power because they can be milled to achieve 59cc combustion chambers without compromising a ****-ton of ptv. i think an lg setup (x3+afr205) would be perfect for you, but would be heavy on the wallet. that is a proven setup that will get you good numbers, though.

your car with that cam + ls6 heads would probably yield 415-425 rwhp. this is assuming supporting bolt-ons and a 10 bolt rear.

What would I make with a G5x3 cam and AFR 205 heads? What would it cost for parts and labor? Also what are the #s on the cam?

sorry, i'm not trying to come across as a dick, but at this rate i will have your combo mapped out for you...when you don't even know the specs of the cam. i want you to learn, not become another moo cow in the scheme of cams. sorry if you took it the wrong way.

That seems kind of high for an A4 with that set up.. You sure its legit?

Anyhow, I dont think your X3/AFR combo would even pass the sniffer test either..
