Between these two cams...??? 224/224, .581"/.581"
228/228, .588"/.588"
Ok I know that the 224 is a great street cam...but I was kinda wanting to go a bit bigger...like the 228. It's my DD and has 35k on the clock. It's an '01 and it has longtubes, ORY cut out. Ported stock TB free ram air etc. I plan on doing an underdrive pulley before a cam. I have a yank 3500 to put in it...with a transgo and supercooler...
I'm leaning towards the 228, but my question is this...
If I choose the 228, what lobe seperation should I go with? It's an A4 and I have read plenty of times to go with a 114...I just want some input on these cams and which LSA I should go with. And if anybody could help explain the advance and retard on a cam. I read it in the cam guide but I'm still confused on the differences and what it does with hp at certain rpms...

what not look at a 224/228 .581/.588 on a 110+2 LSA or if you want a touch bigger go with a 226/230 or 228/232 both with 110+2 LSA The 2 degrees advance will get ur peak HP sooner in the RPM range. correct me if im wrong guys.

Well I was really considering the 224 but then wanted to go with a 228...because I hear the 228 is still a good mild cam for street...i don't wanna go any higher than that. I'm just not sure what LSA or advance and retard i should go with...it is an A4 with a 3500 stall, and people say 114 are good for A4's. So I was just thinking of a 114 LSA with no advance. But I don't know much about advance and retard, so I don't know if I should consider it.
