torn between cams cant decide on which cam and stall to put in my car... its 2002 A4 daily driver....ive been told to go with TR 224 114lsa, but then was told id regret it and go bigger... any inputs?
man I'm in the same boat. But looking for bigger than that. I can tell you that I had a tr230/224 and it was awsome. I loved the low end power it made.
My car dyno'd 390RWHP with all the bolt ons and open cut out. Closed it made 385rwhp.
Is this a DD?

hey man i was in the same position as you about a month ago. I was ready to order the Tr224/224 on a 114 lsa, before i ordered i decided to post up and get some other peoples opinions. Of coarse i got talked and persuaded into going a little bit bigger with the Tr230/224 on a 111 lsa. I could not be any happier with this cam. Its a great DD cam that makes awesome power, and my car isnt even tuned yet. its going in on the 17th, i cant wait to see what kinda power ill make!
Trust me, go a little bit bigger then what you think you want, you wont regret it!

Ill make a video tonight of my Tr224 on a 112. Its a great cam for a daily driver. Mines coming out for a more aggressive cam. Im trying to get a little more serious at the track.
Im installing a customer comp grind that my local speed shop and tuner recomended. Its a 238/242,.600/.610 on a 114+4. Should work well with my new auto setup and spray.

Here is the sound clip of my TR224 on an advertised 112lsa. It actually was cam doctored and showed 111.5lsa. I opened the cutout mid video. Enjoy and hope this helps.
