If its the late 02 ta they put ls6 motors in them and the 234/248 eps cam would do good things for you ...need around a 3600 stall and should make good power and trq...if not send pat g an order form to spec you a cam that you want and it would turn out good.

make sure its 228 at .050 lift...
yeah the 228 cam is an excellent cam for a fun weekend driving A4 fbody.
if your feeling more aggressive look around a 228/232 cam. remember on the simple side of things, higher the numbers and lower the lsa like 112-110 the car will idle rougher, and not be as street friendly.

I would do a 228 on a 112.

call geoff at eps or contact pat g on this board and theyll set you up with a cam that will suit you. sounding tough and being tough are two different things. do you want to go fast or chop so hard that the wheels fall off? your choice.... id look up some cams and sounds on youtube first. i personally like my eps 230/234 on a 111lsa it chops pretty hard and drives great with great power between 5000-6200 rpms.

Well both of course, the point of mods IMO is to get great 1/4 mile times and the hp out of the set up, but it wouldn't hurt for the engine to sound as good as it runs... Right?
I can't do heads and intake right now, just got to get the best outcome from the the stock Ls1 components. I never imagine picking out a cam was so much work and headaches!!!
