I have a 228 now and its coming out. Got it narrowed down to 3 cams, the T2 is one of them

Can you guess my vote

If you are so worried about driveability then you do not want a bigger camshaft period. The 228 would serve your purpose well. On top of that, a mail order tune is not going to get you the driveability you seek. A 3200 stall is small, you could run a 4000 stall and not give up driveability depending on the converter.

I really don't think that you would see any drivablilty issues with a bigger stall; but it is all in what you want. As was stated already, the tune will make or break your drivablility. I have a bigger cam and stall and could DD mine without a problem. Daily drivablility is all in the eye of the beholder though. I voted Torquer V2. Good luck!

Mail order tune and larger cam is going to leave you disappointed in your want of great driveability. You could get away if your an M6 but with an A4 the tune is critical to driveability. There's no need to go with the T.V2 if you plan on spinning the motor to 6300rpms. You also have a high mile shortblock to think about.
Go with the 228R and be happy. With a good set of heads it will give you all you want in the power department and be easier to tune with your A4. IMO Your overcamming your engine with the TV2 unless you only live at the track and drive on weekends.

Out of your two choices, I voted 228R.

Most of the people who are touting the T.v2 cam are running manuals, and you can get away with spinning the motor past 6300 rpms. In an A4 car, extending the shiftpoint much beyond 6000 can shorten the tranny's lifespan. Shifting a stock 4L60e at 6800 will wipe it out in short order.

Consider having TSP do a custom grind for you. Tightening the LSA up to 110 and advancing it a couple of degrees will give you an IVC of 42, which should bring the curve down some and peak about 6100. Shift it at that rpm and your tranny will be much happier.

im glad I got some more input, maybe the 228R would be best since I dont wanna spin it so high and my restriction with tuning

With the horsepower peak at ~6300 (that's just an estimate someone gave it could be ~100 rpms different on your engine as opposed to someone elses) you would atleast want your rev limit at 6500-6600. You do not want to hit the limiter everytime you run it to redline incase the trans doesn't shift at the right point. Most stock shortblock with the upgraded valvetrain you listed above set the limiter at arond 6700-6800. Just because your limiter is set at 6800 doesn't mean you have to spin it that high, I'd presonally set it at 6700 if my dyno confirmed that I make peak power at 6300rpm. You/Your Tuner will know where you make peak power so you're tuner will know where to set the shift points...I'm assuming you're not manually shifting an auto so why are you so worried about redline?

theres a dyno right by my house but I dunno if id want them to tune it sicne I only see a bunch of ricer burners out there. i dont mind going with the torquer 2 but im gonna need a decent tune apparently

I've had a 3500 stalled auto and a TSP 225. Out of those two cams and considering your goals I would suggest the 228. Like others have said, a mail order tune isnt gonna get you where you want/need to be drivability wise. Also in my opinion, a 3200 stall isnt optimal for the torquer. Lastly, your gonna REALLY be short-shifting the car with how low your willing to spin it. With the little 225/225 112 cam I had, I shifted it at 6500, rev-limiter at 6800. You always want to shift 300 or so higher than the actual peak for optimal results.

humm maybe the 228R is what I should stick with then. its gonna be a while before i drive 2 hours for a dyno tune

Get the 228 with the LS6 heads. I've already researched the exact same two cams and have the same goals as you. All this talk about shifting at redline and what to set your rev limiter at doesn't seem all that relevant considering this is still your daily driver... it's not going to see a ton of track time is it? Also consider you're probably only giving up about 10-15 rwhp between the two cams which is hardly noticeable. I'd go with the 228 and slightly lower hp/tq peak since it is your daily driver.

I might go to the track noce or twice a year, I really just like the open country roads and zipping through the corners and all, and of a course good ol highway pulls. I just considered the torquer 2 because it wasnt to much bigger but it peaked higher and heat kills A4 cars. im getting a tranny cooler for the stall but it still may not be enough to save it from revving to 6500

Hell, if you are wanting to get the 228 you may as well just buy mine lol. It only has about 1000-1500 miles on it. 228/228 588/588 114, I have the cam card and everything

why would I buy yours when I get it in the heads/cam package with a 112lsa?

How do you all feel about the Comp Cams and Crane Cams LS1 grinds compared to TSB and TR Cams???

Me? I dunno, im gonig with a TSP head/cam combo and these are the only 2 cams im intrested in that I can get so it doesnt much matter to me
