Sounds good!

What are the specs? or better yet, what was the intended usage you gave Patrick? I'm thinking about finally stepping up from my 226 cam, but with stock heads and A4 I don't want any tuning or driveability issues that I don't have now. Yours sounds pretty damn smooth (rpm wise) for a new install...No surge or semi stalling out at all?

So this is an upgrade to a previous cam?

Highest bidder, lol....

One of the previous owners said he'd like to have it chromed and make a trophy out of it or something, lol. It's definitely been around, but has gone easy 11's in everything it has ever been in. That's why I almost hate to mess with it.
