Default new cam = big smiles...

First of all, I would like to give a special thanks to Stephen at East Texas Muscle Cars for hooking me up. He did an awesome job. If I had a question, which I did (a bunch) he answered them. If any of you are thinking about an upgrade to your car give Stephen a try, you will not be disappointed. Now to the good stuff. I have a 99 coupe A4, 315 gears, lg street headers, vararam, 42 lb injectors, torquer 2 232/234 112 lsa, stage 2.5 5.3 ported heads from tsp, and a 3200 stall. Stephen got it to put down 431 rwhp and 395 rwtq. Really impressed with the ease of driving a stalled car. Almost like stock until you hit the little pedal on the right, then it really takes off. Thanks again to Stephen and his crew for an awesome job.

Agreed! Those are nice numbers. I can't wait to do my cam install. I bet the car feels like a whole different animal.

Yup pulls great. Really need to get new tires to make it hook @ low speeds.

Nice mods and great rwhp number! I had a 3200 stall in my last daily driven car and you will get board with it soon and wish you had more. Have fun with your ride.

thanks for the nice words. hope not. it is a weekend car. i think it will take me a while to really figure the car out. the cam matches up pretty well with the stall. really takes off when it flashes.
