Default X1 or Tv2

Car info: Bolt on A4 includes Longtubes-Catted Y-GMMG Catback, 3600 stall, Ported TB, and some suspension.
My goal is to run 11.5 or faster. I daily drive the car, so it needs good manners. Will mostly be a street car with just a run here and there at the track (until they kick me out for not having a cage )
I always end up wanting the X1 no matter how many times I look for a cam. But I know it needs good flowing exhaust. Will having high flow cats mess up the power of the X1?
I've also been debating the Tv2, but it seems to be a hit or miss cam for people. My car is going to be cam only and I really want under the curve power and I'm not going to rev the motor to the moon. What LSA + advance would be good to bring the powerband of the Tv2 down to fit my needs? Or should I look for a slightly smaller cam?

I love my X1. With my cutout open I made another 8rwhp. 11.50 might be a little optimistic with a 3600 stall, full weight car. 11.70's are probably attainable though with your current combo/X1.

id say go with the X1!! 11.5's should be attainable if you throw in some heads and be able to hook. ive been eyeing the X1 cam for a long time. everybody that i have pm that has experience with the X1 all have loved it. they all have dipped into the 10's with that cam. jaSSon, wilwaxu, beardWS6 all have ripped 10's!! i have heard that the TV2 doesnt really live up to its name!! but some people do love it. but i would take the X1 for a street car!

i run the tv2 on a 112 and as far as power under the curve i make 350 trq at 3100 and peak at 410 rwtrq and 430 rwh i dont drive mine everyday anymore but i could if i had to has great drivability alot people will tell you to go with a 224 or a 228 cam which are good cams but i think they leave to much on the table from what i have seen from other peoples setups hope that helps sucks picking a cam i looked at different ones for months before i bought one
