Default What Do You Guys Think?

i kno that theres really not a for sure way to tell.. cuz all our cars respond defferently to mods...

i was thinkin of getting the torquer 3 or ms3...how much do you guys think from your expierences, and knowledge think i will gain from either cam? or what cam would you guys recomend? my springs are good to 650... im shooting for 400+ with cam and bolt ons.. witch i kno is hard with an a4... but we will see.... i dont have an ls6 intake yet... but plan on getting one.. other than that i have all the bolt ons ands free mods, besides UD pulley, and electric water pump.. the UD pulley will go on with my cam install.... my dyno graph is in sig... so what do you guys think?

I do not think you will get waht you want with out at least a set of heads to go along with the cam swap. Then of those 2 i would think you would be better off with the V3, which is why I am leaning that direction myself.

Depends on how much milling is done to the heads.

He means it depends on how much you have the heads milled. You typically won't get the best possible results by sticking unmilled heads on a car. Need that compression. If that requires flycutting, do it. Easy enough.

yea but... wont it not be good for stock pistons to spray on them if there flycutted?

also so your sayings its a good idea to mill the terminator series heads? rather than to throw them on like that? i was under the impression that they were good ready to go heads.. and thought more compressions is bad for spray? im confused
