Should I keep the hotcam or move on? I just got a set of LE1 heads with upgraded 2.0/1.56 valves and 918 behive springs that flow 269/189. I have the hotcam now and was thinking about a bigger better cam but also thinking about changing to 1.7 rockers giving the hotcam .558 lift. I have an a4 with a pretty much stock stall, Fuddle 3000 that only footbrakes to 2000 and 342 gears that wont get changed for a long time. Wondering how much power i would be leaving on the table over a custom grind vs the hotcam with 1.7 rockers?
I think the added rockers will give you a couple more degrees of duration not a lot but something. And will give you more lift to take advantage of your heads. I think at the moment a larger stall,rockers, your heads (.026 gaskets), some good drag radials and a few suspension pieces will really set you where you want to be.
Yes more can be gained from switching cams as far as power BUT even to take advantage of a larger cam you'll need a larger stall. Mise well take care of the critical parts and build the entire setup and prepare for a bigger bump stick down the road.

Its just a play toy, Dosnt get driven much at all mostly racing. The next time the stall will be upgraded is when the a4 dies and then it will most likely get a th350. It does Flash to 3000 on the bottle so I guess thats A fuddle 3,000 stall lol.
