Default What are the biggest cams A4's are running?

I may be changing my mind for the 100th time on what cam to get. With all these huge cams starting to come out, which ones are A4's using, is idle/drivibility a problem w/ LS1Edit tuning, whet #'s are they putting out. What "drop in" springs would be the most reliable with a high lift? I did a search, but I read mostly about M6 guys with the big 'uns. I would like to hear from A4 people. I'm looking real hard at the MMS229 114lsa.

Also, I know you're a MMS guy, so what do you think about the cam I mentioned? I want it to be a good match for my Vig 3200, though I may step up to a TP4400 at a later date.

</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have my idle speed at 950 and it pulls ~15" of vacuum at that RPM. It runs nice and smooth, and is really easy to live with. It will work OK with a Vig 3200, but you'll be happer with the PI4400. My best ET on the ST3800 (same stall speed as your PI) was 11.57, best ET on the TP4400 is 10.98. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
