I am searching for some H/C package that will give my car aprox 400rwhp. But i am looking for a combo that keep the car for DD and dont like the low LSA camshaft(was looking for a 114 LSA), i like cars that sound almost like stock ones, just a bit more agressive. My car is a Trans am 2001 A4, it has Flowtech 1 3/4 LT with 2.5" Y without cats, LS6 intake, 212/218 .522/.529 114 cam, Slpc cold air intake, 160 Theromos...,and the engine is like new since when i opened the engine a change all bearings , took the block to the machine shop, right now it have like 3,000miles will all that brand new. In total the car have 57,000miles.

I was looking at the TFS combos but the cam is 110LSA, i think for an A4 it will sound to agressive. I really dont know a lot so if someone have any package to offer, you are welcome. DONT matter the $$$.

well with a good set of heads, you can get 400rwhp with a HotCam. i'm hoping for at least 400rwhp with my tr230 cam, a set of P&P 241 and the new composite weiand manifold . . . but my cam is on a 111 LSA so alil on the choppy sound but i want that sound and it's my DD btw

with a decent HC combo and a good tune you can look for almost 450+ to the wheels. check out www.texas-speed.com they have good stuff there.

413whp with cam only. TSP 231/237 cam just as easy as stock to drive around. Its all in the tune. I eve nget better mpg then stock

There's a lot of cam only cars out there we've done with 390-410rwhp (depending on automatic or manual) that are dailey drivers, and that's on our Mustang Dyno.

yeah the dyno matters also lol some read higher than others, there's one here locally that reads higher than other dynos in the area so when i here someone tell me their numbers and then who tuned it i kind of chuckle lol at them

Okay, i just put the 400rwhp to have a point, because i am not dyno king, i just want to be in the low 12's in 1/4mile.
That tsp 230/236 on an A4 will hurt the idle or something else, because if it is a good DD cam, i looks nice and big. So to get to the 400rwhp idont need a complete set of heads and cam?? that good an cheaper.
And also to let you know i have comcams valves springs already in my stock heads, i put them when i opened the engine.

Keep throwing more DD cams that produce great HP, remember, i dont want one that is to choppy.

If you don't want a big cam, get a good set of heads and a custom ground cam. That should get you exactly what you want. If you don't mind a large cam, you can just go cam only and get your goals. All depends on how you want to make your power and what type of driveability you would like to retain.

you already have a good daily driver cam

why not invest in a badass set of heads...like some touched up AFRs, milled to bump compression.

you should be darn close to 400rwhp, and if not...throw a FAST on it.

if you like how it drives now...build on what you have.

I put down 391/386 on a mustang dyno....so I'm about 414/409 on a Dyno
Mods in sig My car is a true DD

^^^Not to attack, but why would you be 414/409 on a dynojet. Mustang dyno is not always lower, sometimes it's higher. All depends on who owns the dyno and what they set the parameters to. Every dyno is different. Numbers are numbers, the dyno is a tuning machine, not about bragging rights. Just my opinion.

i made 395 rwhp cam only on my 02 Z28 A4

MTI X1 without a under drive pulley also..

This seems like very logical advice. You could also consider adding a set of Crane or Yella Terra 1.8 roller rockers to give an increased lift of 0.553/0.560 respectively using your existing cam (if lobe design allows 1.8 rockers). This certainly would benefit the AFRs great flow characteristics and should have excellent bottom/mid torque results -- ideal for DD requirements. Just an opinion...

I was looking at the Trick Flow heads, they have a smaller combustion chamber also. But will i benefit using those heads even if my cam is that small??
I was looking at this because i was reading some articles a books, and saw an LS1 almos with the same mods as mine and same cam, and when they change the stock ls1 heads for the TFS heas, the hp increase by 52 and torq by 56, but that WASNT in the wheels, it just was the engine.
How much rwhp can i see if i install those heads???? I am A4,LS6 intake, LT no cats, ported TB and slp cold air intake.

RIght now, tuned, i put 352rwhp and 355torq, the car drives good, not choppy, and has a lot of torq. The AFR was set at 12.3-12.4. It iddle perfectly even at 500-600rpm.

my buddy has the HotCam with full bolt-ons, less than 385rwhp and his best time at the 1/4 was 12.1 or 12.2 soo 400rwhp is not needed for low 12's also his stall is a 3000 and he was on DR's

1969mach1

you have the power to be in the 11's

thats AWSOME with a cam only LS1.

so your trying to LOSE HP?????

I'M CONFUSED!!!!!!!!

With the cam you already have there, A set of AFR's or some ported LS6 heads will get you there easy. you can do cam only but you may not like the driveability. Good luck.
