Default Vindicator cam requirements...

specs are... 240/244 .608/.596 112+4.

how well would it work with an A4? i was guessing to throw in some patriot platinums, and 373's in the rear.

has anybody here run a vindicator on an automatic??

thanks fellas...

you're going to want a stall for that cam too.. I'd recommend a 4400. And 4:10's would be better for the rear.

also to run that cam effectively with an A4, you'll need to have the 4L60E rebuilt to handle the RPM's and change the shift points.

That I know there's a couple of guys. I'm in the process of doing one now. But if you do a search you should find them. I know SEB and I believe smokingstorm is the other. Both of them run awesome times. Definately a 4400+ stall is required if you want to get the max potential of the cam. Good luck

I run this cam (Also on a 113 LSA) with a 3800 Vig stall and am very happy with my results so far. If you are looking for power numbers, my car made 450 RWHP and 410 RWTQ on pump gas with TFS/TEA 215's.
With the 3800 stall, a 3.70 gear and my engine combo the car went a best of 11.44 @ 117. The MPH could and should be higher, but I suspect the stall being a used unit from an unreliable member of this board could be the reason the car does not MPH or ET better. Not to mention the car weighs 3650 with me in it.

i have an M6 with 4.10 gears, how do you think the driveability would be with an extremely good tuner??? I am thinking about this cam or the VRX5.

I don't know? I think his rod bolts are gonna go before the tranny frys. You better plan on upgrading rod bolts if your gonna run a top end cam like that. Your definately gonna need a convertor and 3:73s gears would be my choice for the rear gear. And last but not least for sure replace the oil pump for a well proven unit aftermarket unit. That cam opens a can of worms that will suck your wallet dry. Good Luck.

the vindicator is definitely making sick power!! but i dont think i would daily driver that cam at all, especially in an auto. big cams shine at high rpm's and the stock 4l60e is not a fan of high rpms..

I would stick with a low to mid 230ish cam with a 346 with a stock bottom end. That is if you want to make sure it lasts.... even then it will be on borrowed time IMO.... the bigger the cam the higher you have to spin it to get everything out of it.... we are only talking a bit of hp difference in the grand scheme of things.

way to bring this thread back from the dead, i decided to just skip the big cam and go to a big motor.
