spec me a cam!! Just wondering what the consensus would be on a cam for my setup. Its a 05 GTO A4 with a 150 shot, vig 3000, longtubes, magnaflow exhaust with straightpipes, ported intake/tb, m/t 275 dr's. I plan on staying with the stock heads and since its an auto I don't really want to spin it much higher than 6k rpms.I mainly use the car for 1/8 mile racing, but I want something that pulls well on the street and/or 1/4 mile also. I was thinking something along the lines of the HPE C-cam...what does everyone else suggest??

Pick one out and go a little bigger, you only want to do it once! And if you dont, youll wish you had later. I though about a C cam then got the S. It is good as a daily driver, no matter what people say, once it was tuned, it had good manners.

228R ??? ! ! ! Should work fairly well with your 3000 Stall
Or maybe a reverse split of some sort if sticking with the stock heads. TR230?

I would stay away from a reverse split. I have tried 3 cams in my 05 and the current cam is a 222/226 .566/.588 115lsa. numbers are in my sig. The 05 I have also has a 3200 stall which is a little too big but I had a bigger cam in the car. This cam has great street manners and will run on a stock tune. Untuned the car made 398rwhp.

Stay away from MS3's or MS4's. They'll give you good peak horsepower but will give you no torque.
You'll need something that's torquey in the low lift areas: 3000 RPMS so I recommend a G5X3 or a G5X4. That'll be great for torque downstairs and have great peak horsepower.

Not true at all. Have you ever seen the specs on a stock cam?? The lsa is mostly what makes it lope. You will greatly regret anything less that 113-114 with a auto as you put a load on the engine it never free wheels as a stick car does. So idle problems will be in your future. I just tuned a 06 gto with a ms4 on a 111 and what a pita I'm a expieranced tuner and I had 5 hours of tuning into the car just on idle. I had the rest of the car dialed in in the usual 30-45 minutes. My 05 has maybe 30 minutes into idle tuning. My 05 has run 11.8's at 121 in the quarter N/A so guess the power does pretty well in the low rpm's. I have a graph I'll try to find it and show you it.
