It would be OK, but you might look for something with a little more exhaust bias.

I have close to the same set up as you. P1SC kook L/T 1 3/4 H/F cats, Stingers on a stock A4 04vert. I am also looking for a good blower cam to replace my stock LS1 cam. I hear lots of different opinions on this forum.The cam you mention seems to be right in the ball park. Would like to know what you decide on.

525rwhp should be a ground ball without the cam, so you might be pleasantly pleased with your results.

Yeah, still thinking here... I know split pattern cams are better. But will a single pattern cam really hurt??? Or just not be as good...

Did that cam come with a recommendation from Andy at A&A Corvettes? How do you like it? Does it have good street manners? Great sig I am envious.

That is Andy's cam of choice. Personally I would go even bigger say 228/232. But Andy knows better, Trust me!

He does do quite a few of those cams. I actually suggested it to him, but he was already 5 steps ahead of me on my plan.

I will know how it drives on this Sun when I pick it back up.
I get to drive it 320 miles back home.

Thanks for the compliment

Jeff
