Then I would go with the Vindactor cam from Vengeace Racing Then a ported fast 92 and a set of TFS 215s.

240/244 .605/.596 112 LSA. 2400-7000 Rpm Power Band. Explosive mid range and top end. This camshaft is our most popular creation yet. You can find this camshaft in some of the fastest LSX combinations in the world. Looking for 400 plus rwhp in your stock headed application?? The Vindicator is your answer. With more power under the curve than the other "larger camshafts" out there and explosive top end power the Vindicator is your answer. We suggest 4:10 rear gear for M6 or 4000+ Stall in A4. Computer tuning is required for optimal results. Dual Gold springs are required. We suggest checking P/V on all applications

I am a little biased because I have the TV3 but a good firend of mine installed the 228 in the same week I did mine and he still wishes he bought my cam over the 228.We were both tuned by the same guy on the same day and on motor I pull him. I love this cam on a moderate tune with hiflow cats it put down 404 rwhp. I think if I got true duels and retuned I could get 410-420 out of it. The car drives fine. I love every minute I'm behind the wheel. Good luck and sorry for any grammer mistakes I'm on my phone on a boat.
