Default Which cam for A4 daily driver?

I"Ve been looking at Thunder Racing's cams if i do get one it will be the 224/224 .563/.563 112 lsa or 230/224 .575/.563 111 lsa so what do u guys think also what type of converter would u recommend like a 3500 stall?

TR224 Makes good power and you still have a nice idle.


You left quick last night. I was going to see if you were in for a little run after hooters

eric: for an auto the vigalante 3200 does great.. i have a friend doing 11.8's w/ his stalled auto T/A w/ bolt ons + z06 cam.. cutting 1.6 60fts.. that stall hits hard.

oh yea as far as cam the TR224 is good.. g5x3 w/ a good tune drives like stock in a m6.. not sure how it would be w/ an auto

That is a mediocre converter....If you want to really wax some *** get you a magic stick from TSP (231/237) and a Pt4000 stall. That will be a hard to beat car/package to roll around like these guys do and still kick some *** from the digs...
