I have an A4, but my old 236/240//111 cam did not do stuff like that and it idled at 1000rpms.

I've got a 242/242//114 and no AC since I bought the car in early 2000, and I have put 16,000 miles on it.

 

My 248/248 cam actually idles well at 1000RPM and is a baby on the street. I drive the car in bumper to-bumper traffic and 98* temps all day. It has been suggested that my cam is too tame... therefore too streetable... It does have a nice lumpity rumble though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

As soon as I get some passes on the current setup, I am going for more compression and more cam... <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

it was quite jumpy under 2000 rpm cruising around

Keep in mind, I don't have to move coil packs out of the way or any emissions fittings to screw with. I just started at #1 and developed a little pattern to keep from skipping a rocker. A box end wrench, feeler gauge, and allen wrench are all the tools that are necessary.

Piece of Cake...

You should feel this thing pull 5th and 6th gear... over 500 rwhp from 5500 to 7000... <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Shane you make me sick.. I want your setup.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Thanks VINCE... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

My setup is sick.

Shane it is.. Everytime I think about how it must feel... Wow!!

Well, since my motor will be going in a truck I don't see the coil packs being much of a problem <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> and since I'm going with the LS6 valley cover my welded valve covers will be free and clear. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Shane: Are you running 13:1 on pump gas? Can you run more compression with a solid roller than a hydraulic roller on the same grade of gas?

 

How does the car feel with the new cam? Any dyno #'s yet?

 

feels more "torquey" I'm scheduled to dyno tomorrow <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

WOW!!! I kind of expected more tq, but to actually feel it is even better.. I wish you the best of luck.. I have a cam swap coming up soon. I just have to schedule a time to do it..

 

Just saying hello.. I am really curious about this cam swap..

I probably could get away with less but I like to "drive" the car... I don't baby it.

How much is race gas up there?

 

here in MD its 4.19 a gallon <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

 

WOW.. That is up there.. I need to find out how much it cost down here.. I was thinking about trying a little the next time I go to the track.. My compression is up there as well and can benefit from some higher octane..

 

Fireball did you get the car dyno'd?
