220 duration requires computer programming
For A4 cars, Comp cams says their 216/220 duration cam requires computer modifications, however their 212/218 duration cam does not.
What needs computer tuning because of the higher duration? Idle rpm only, or other things as well?
Thanks.

My thunder racing 220/220 .551 .551 on a 114 needed tuning. Not much bigger than the one your describing? It would send a random multiple misfire code for no apparent reason from time to time and would stall at traffic lights if it sat still long enough. You would've thought it was a much bigger cam the way it behaved. All that with a Pro Torque 2800 stall. Much nicer after I had it tuned.
