Default Basic Ls1 A4 Cam Question

Just checking my memory (always short term), the best LSA cam size for an A4 powered car would be a 114, correct?

Example: 22X/22X .58X/.58X 114 LSA

I know that you can run cams with 112s in A4s, but for a basic upgrade, the 114 LSA is correct and makes tuning easier.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE only answer the 114 LSA question, I really do not need any inputs on 112 or 113 LSA.

I really appreciate it,

Micah

That is the old way of thinking in the LS1 world.. Now it really depnds on your tuner ability.

Hope I can find a tuner that can fix it. I have an appointment on Tuesday and it sounds promising.

This has been going on for months.
