picking the cam

I'm in the market for a Cam. I was looking at a few cams and would like your reccamendation. I will be having my s2 heads milled .40 (11.3:1 or 11.5:1, not sure yet) I also need to know what valve springs (i'm assuming double) and rockers as well. I dont mind shifting around 6800 either. I'm trying to get as close to 10's as i can with my m6, and not have driveabilty issues.

223/223 .588/.588 112

Re: picking the cam

i'm trying to stay away from any clearance issues. I think the heads are the 5.3's milled .40 for 11.3:1

Re: picking the cam

I have the 5.3L heads milled 42 thousandths. You might want to pick the smaller cam. The big ones would be taking a chance.. I have the T1 and I am going to stay with it for now.. I have other issues that I am working out..

Re: picking the cam

I know of an A4 that dynoed 403rwhp/390rwtq thru and UNLOCKED converter (TP4400) with heads similar to those with a 224/224 .563/.563//112
He was running 11:1 compression.
