How do you like your ASA Cam?
Hey Jmm,
I'm leaning towards the ASA cam as well. I currently get 20-21mpg combined cty/hwy with my bonestock a4/2.73 '02 T/A. Just curious, how much did your mileage drop with the cam and stall combined?
Thanks.

With just bolt-ons, I usually averaged ~19mpg. With the cam/stall it went to 16mpg avg. I just switched to a t56 with a 9" & 4.56 gears this winter.....I'm betting my mileage will jump back up close to 19.
has anyone with an A4 had problems on the 2-3 shift with this cam? I was told by someone who had this cam it was cause of the tune
I just hope its not my tranny cause I just had it rebuilt.

The ASA cam was a great cam for it's day. Made a gorgeous TQ curve, had a nasty sounding idle, and you could use LS6 valve springs with zero worry of every having a spring failure thanks to the .525 lift.
However when being compared to today's camshaft technology, it's a middle-range and mediocre performing cam at best. It'll make 370-380hp on stock heads with an M6 car with a great TQ curve, but considering there's stock headed cars doing 410-420rwhp these days with a similar TQ curve it's not going to be the best performer for the money.
And it's definitely not a cam I'd ever install in an automatic car, regardless of the stall.
