Looking for driving opinions as I drive my car to the track & often sit in bumper to bumper turnpike traffic..

Car is an A4:
3:73's
Vig 3600
AFR 205's

CURRENTLY 224/228, but trying to deceide on FM113 or G5X3...

Driveability IS a factor, however car is 95% track car, 5% driven to & from the track..

Ellis - Go with the G5X3 cam since youre only 5% street. You can put up wiith almost anything for 5% of the time.

Mill the heads down to 59cc.

If you're running stock AFR's, I believe they are 64cc heads. It will be a little soggy on the bottom. The F13 cam will work better at that compression especially on a 112. I run a 230-236 112 XE-R cam in DC bumper to bumper traffic with an SD tune and it's not too bad but most people would probably not like it. That's a lot smaller than the X3 cam which I considered.

TSPs Torquer V2 on a 112 runs very well on the street with stock heads and puts down excellent power at the strip when I go run the T&T.

I know its not what you asked but I would keep the current cam and get a better converter....

Try an yank PT4000 - 4400 and go faster in the 60 ft and pick up a couple mph up top too

I dont think its worth the time or investement to change the cam when a better converter would give you a better gain

Curious as to what you mean by a little soggy?
Tony Mamo said the FM 13 would work well with the heads too, but I'm not sure there will be that much of a difference going to a FM13 since I already am running a 224/228.
(The FM13 is 230/232).. I am on a LSA of 114 (A4)

Your car makes great power right now. Enough to get ya into the high 10`s with the right converter and good traction.So to me its not worth the money to change cams and then have to retune .
I defintly woudnt go with the vig 3600. I can only tell you from experience that a PT yank or atleast a 4000ss will pull harder uptop than the vig 3600.

The G5X3 will net you less DCR (Dynamic Compression Ratio) than you're current car. That will reduce your low/mid power somewhat.

i put 395 to the wheels in an auto with the g5x3 cam, STOCK LS1 heads.

car drives freakin fine. im 1% track 99% street. i drive the bitch 25 miles each way to work on days that arent shitty. i have a 3400 stall and its just fine with this cam.

I found out my heads were milled to 62 cc, but FYI I also have an aftermarket forged short block, with 2-3 cc valve reliefs.. I think a 232/234 @114 .595 .598 Comp cam may be something worth condiserating

Now your're right in there with the Torquer cam. A tighter lsa will give you better mid-range. Drop that down to a 112lsa.

A4....wouldn't that require a 114 LSA for better idle??

WKMCD

iTrader: (2)

That's probably true unless you change the convertor.

The set up is going to be:
3:73's
Vig 3600
AFR 205's that are already installed & milled to 62cc
A&A forged short block that has notched Diamond flat top pistons 2-3 cc...

You name the cam choice..
