Default Cam ?

Anyone out there running a 224/230 114 or 115 LSA etc. cam in an A4 with the stock torque converter? If so, are you happy with the idle?

call mike norris at mike norris motorsports. he uses that cam quite often. he can tell you what to expect. i am having that cam put in my z right now but it is on a 112 lsa with an mn12 and a 3.90 gear. the 114 or 115 should give you a smooth enough idle.

Since you haven't gotten any responses, I am running a VHP_056 which is 215/225 on a 114.5 LSA. (I know, not the same cam but a data point I guess.) It idles smooth and was designed for an auto car (mine is an MN6). One of the reasons I didn't go with the 113, which this cam also came in, was to ensure the idle was smooth enough for my wife to be able to drive the car.
