There is no such thing as a cam that is too big and not streetable, it is all in the tune.

Any updates on this??? Was thinking of doing the same swap (or getting nitrous, can't make my mind up). What LSA have you gone with??? 112 113??? Thinking of doing this as a cam only, swapping to an LS6 intake, and LATER on down the road throwing some spray at her.

I recently put this cam in my '05 GTO A4...It's on a 112. I really like it, had it tuned and dynoed at MTI in Houston, put down 413/383 through a Vig 4200 stall, I also have the usual bolt-on's...So far so good!

i got the cam on a 114 lsa, idles in sig. the cam has a real nice choppy idle and hits hard with the stall. the only thing im dissapointed in is its performance at the track. my friend who has pretty much the same car as me(bolt-on-stall-cam) has an fm13 and he always starts to reel me in on the top end where i thought my cam has the advantage. other than that i love it. i get a little surging and it stalls every now and again, but its all in the tune.

Definitely going with a 112 LSA when I get that cam, yours idles way too smoothly for my tastes.

it idles smoother because that was on a cold start. its a little more choppy when warmed up, but i agree i wish i would have gotten it on a 112 or 113 lsa.

Oh, it does sound good, but I like my cars to sound a lot rowdier. My old Monte with a 406 had a 240/246 @ .050 cam with a 110 LSA and that thing sounded downright evil at idle.
