Default would u please discuss this cam with me

im looking at installing the ASA cam into my 98 camaro which has heads and most bolt-ons.

i believe the specs are 223/236 at .525 110lsa

would this be drivable on the street?

any tips or info will be useful

thanks

Might surge a bit down low and I would think you'd have to flycut your pistons?

You don't say weather it is an a4 or m6, but I would vote against this on stock displacement. The idle would surge like crazy with a 110 and 236 degree of exhaust. Why not get a 230/227 on a 112 lsa if you want to go big with the cam.

The ASA cam is very drivable if you have a 6 speed. Also you will not need to cut your pistons at all. I am 100% positive. It a good cam if you do not have any head porting ( stock heads)
