What is it that scares you about a slight advance?

Says it will hit peak hp 100rpm later. Im a newb to cams i was thinking it would idle harder too? I could be 100% wrong cause he has the exact cam i want without the +1 at the end.

Well, I will honestly not lie to you b/c I don't know the exact difference. Yes power might hit, SLIGHTLY higher like you mentioned. Honestly though, the difference will be so minimal and I bet if you were to drive a car with the only change in the cam of that +1 advance that you wouldn't even notice. I was always told a degree here and there, lift, etc. won't make that much difference. Maybe all of them combined but the above example to me isn't worth sweating. A cam guru maybe able to help out. If it makes you feel any better my buddy has a newer Vette than yours and said he'd slap it in if I wasn't going to. Good luck on your choice though!

By the way with those heads you should be able to hit 400rwhp no prob, even in an A4. Is it a M6 or A4?
