Biggest CAM for the streets "A4"
thats some serious lift on the intake side... hope there's some heads going with it to match. I like to go on the conservative side, plus it seemed he wanted to stay with the 3600 vice moving up to a 4000+ converter.

Its an A4 full-boltons +100 TNT wet shoot , my target is the best performance in the street racing,, its not a DD just weekends car so i dont care about the driveability i want the badest combo for that target.
its OK to hit the maximum limit for street manners cam,, i think my range is between 1500/2000 to 6300/6800
the car is not gonna go to the track that much "like twice a year so the majority street application.
NOTE:its an A4 full boltons unstalled rightnow but im gonna but YANK SS3600 with TCI Pro Super Kit during the cam swap and the main point spray 100 SHOOT of wet juice
THANX IN ADVANCE

if your going for street performance, you don't necessarily want to go smaller, as it will make more power down low where you DON'T want it (too easy to blow the tires off) Get something big with heads to match, get a converter to match and learn what RPM to launch at without turning the tires into dust.

this will leave you with a V-tech LS1 IMO...

and with a stall you do not learn what rpm to launch, you make sure the suspension, weight distribution and gum is up to the task. Once you flash that verter you do not have any choice as to where it does it.

Yeap true, this has been uttered many times. big cams need lots of mods to extract the true power potential of said cam, like better intake, better heads, higher compression etc...
Some small to mid size cams, benefit better from more undercurve power with the LS motor as is, meaning stock compression and heads.
