DD cam only a4 help. ok im thinking about doing a cam and i cant decide what to get..im gettin a new stall(ss3600) installed and the mods in my sig. i kinda want to keep it a sleeper with manifolds and the cheatr cam but another part of me wants to put on some headers and get a lil bit bigger cam and i need yalls opinion... the cams im thinking about are based on good gasmilage great power under the curve and most importantly driveability...i dont want to kill my car or the tranny. so i just want a lil more power like 350 to the dirt...so all the cam experts help me out..i have axcess to a great tuner and a dyno shop thats local so thats no problem and is a ported oil pump a must when doin a cam..(i see right about 40 psi at idle and about 55-60 drive above 2k) thanx for the help guys. this is what im thinking

DD cam only a4 help. I used the 224/228 .581/.588 112 for three years as a daily driver cam in my 346 N/A C5. It should work great with the SS3600 converter. What gear are you running? If you decide on a new cam, call Pete at CNC heads in FL or I still have mine that I will sell you. I ran 11.07@123 with it.

As a general rule of thumb, it is not advisable to exceed 0 degrees of overlap at .050" when running stock manifolds. Any more overlap than that will start to decrease power as your exhaust starts to contaminate your intake charge from reversion.
As much as I love the narrow LSA cams with excellent exhaust, the wider LSA cams work better with manifolds. The CheaTR cam is ideal for that.
