reject good thread...ive got a stock stall and a tr224 staring at me across my room 
TR224 plus STOCK stall?
so far i've been driving the car around on the new cam, put about 100 mjiles on it so far, i even got brave today and turned on the AC 
car needs motor mounts bad other than that i think it is managable for a few more months 
car needs motor mounts bad other than that i think it is managable for a few more months i've always heard that ppl with 224's loved them becuase of their streetablity, but they always had gears and stalls to help it out, i just wondered if they had done the stock stuff first then get the other stuff later and if it was able to be driven. when i had my ms4 it was a bitch becuase it was overcammed for what i had, stock everything. i dont have enough money to do both the stall and gears at the same time so i decammed and actually liked it's lower end power. and now that i know i can do the 224 and keep the other stuff stock for a while i really felt better about going smaller

I think the stalls and gears are more required to get the cam into its powerband quicker. I really did have no problem with my stock stall after the tune. I put the 3200 stall in because it was half price used and my friends kept telling me I needed a stall to be fast...
The TR224 is the cam that Thunder recommended for me when I called and asked them which cam they recommended for my '98 Trans Am A4 w/ 3.23 gears and I told them I would be keeping the stock stall.
Anyone else have any other cam recommendations for us A4 guys wanting to keep the stock stall converter and not have any driveability issues? I know a 224 cam is pushing it on the stock stall. Any other recommendations for a little bit smaller cam? Thanks in advance.

I drove on a stock converter and a TSP 231/237 112 for a year. I made some tuning modifications that helped, but it was driveable. Car did have 3.73's in it also. I think a 224 would have been fine on the stock converter.
Just my experience, it wasn't a 60ft monster by any stretch of the imagination.

Part of your decision has to be the shape of your desired powerband. A stock stall gives you no bottom end and nasty dead spots on the upshifts.
