making the final decision.. PLZ help Heey guys…
Im a beginner overseas F-body owner who needs a help about the final decision for Cam/Stall combo..
First of all it’s a weekend street machine not a DD and not gonna see the track that much..and It’s a full bolt-ons 99 A4 Z /28 with 3.73 gears I just wanna match the cam with the accurate stall speed to match up with my mods and perform well in the street racing + the most important thing its gonna be juiced with TNT 100-150 wet shot
after a cubole of months searching in the web finally I made a decision,,
on torquer V2 + YANK SS3600 +4L60E overhaul kit + 3.73 gear,, with my current bolt-ons
im just a beginner in LS1 internal mods so I really need a help about this combo..
-Is every thing gonna match with the other??!!
-Is it a littlie big cam /stall for street use??
-Do the 3600 stall effect on the drivability of the vehicles in the traffic??
-Dose it good cam/stall package for nitrous use??!
-And is it the best mods on weekend street machines??!!
Im also accepting any changes in the Cam/Stall choice..
So feel free to change any thing in the combo cuz its changeable if ur disicion was the best "TESTED" combo for streets racing,, Just name a cam and stall that u think it will perform the best for mean street machine
..
Hope to get benift from this thread cuz Im really need a helpful opinion to make the final decision..
Thanks in advance and waiting for the Replays

The numbers do not mean anything, it is the way the stall drives. The difference between a SS3600 and a SS4000 is none in street manners.
I drove a Vig 3200 and now I have a Vig 3800 and they both drive the same, but performance wise the 3800 gets me another .2 sec faster.
Anyways, pick your cam first, then match the stall's adequate shift extensions to the cam's power band.

My advice before any cam swap for such high mileage is a compression + leakdown test.
Based on the results you know if you want to proceed.
130K is high for the lifters, if you decide to swap, I would put new lifters in. I know you have to yank the heads off, but that is better than swapping and then collapsing one later (twice the work).
But first determine the health of the motor.

Predator, I had looked at this almost exact setup but instead keeping my stock 3.23 rear.
With the torquer v2, what should be done to the rpm limiter, can it stay in its stock settings or should it be raised?
