no entirly true, i have an A4 with 3.73s and what little i drove it brfor i broke it was awsome, its the same as a 224/224 BUT it keep making more power up top, true to utilize this you need to rev higher but thats a dyno number game. just IMO so what i say isnt gosfel(sp?)it felt real good on 3.73 and A4....

Any of those cams will work with 4.56 gears, in my opinion dont use low lift design with that much duration it is a waste. My cam has .578" lift with only 220* dur. at .050" and with 918 springs no issues at all.Go with .590" lift its not that aggressive with the bigger duration those cams all have. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
