John really just have people put vacuum. Terms like "mild" are very subjective. Everyone is just going to lie to make their setups look more streetable. At least with vacuum we have a real measurable number, not someone's opinion.

Not everybody has the desire to deceive. I am being competely honest in my ratings.

My car idles very well at 850 rpm without even drilling the TB or programming. It does not shake around at all or stall. It will surge a little when cold, but not when warm.

Terry, you may have a point as far as it being subjective... but not everyone has a vacumme gauge.... or the where with all to get an accurate reading.

As far as lieing about how streetable a cam or set up is... c'mon, who would do such a thing? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Lets not turn this into a debateable post... just let the folks put up their info and let the chips fall where they may.

The info from the folks who have posted already has been entered on my/our cam info page.

<strong>Raughammer, Can you put up your specs please.

Cam specs: Comp Cam XE-R/ MTI Hammer2 cam / C2
Duration at .050 intake/exhaust- 224/224
maximum lift with 1.7 rockers- .581/.581

Your car type (auto/manual)- A4 with a TP4400

computer reprogrammed? (yes/no) Yes, at MTI via LS1 Edit.

Additional comments: It sounds almost like the C1. It drives almost like the C1. There is not much difference between the two. But I went 10.66 with this one... hey that's gotta count for something. I like it.

John, maybe an entry on whether or not it worked without fly-cutting the pistons and if the heads were milled (amount) or not. Good info BTW you are gathering. Take care.
