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.

Bump from the dead, I'm thinking about this cam since I don't car about racin or track times, sounds badass and isn't too bad on springs. People still loving and hating these lol

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.
