Cam Dillema C5 Corvette
Im torn between two set ups.
I have a 2002 A4 C5 with lg long tubes
3 inch x pipe, borla stinger exhaust and a vararam intake, stock 3.15 gears...
Obviously I have the LS6 intake and 241 heads. I would like to get the MOST I can from a Cam only set up, and a stall of course.
Ultimately the car will be a DD but I want it to pull like crazy down low and have plenty left up top.
Pat G reccomended
Yank SS3200 stall converter coupled with a 226/230 .598/.605 113LSA cam ground with EPS/LXL lobes.
and the other set up is
custom Futral (cam Motion) 230/236 .600/.600 113LSA with a yank PT4000 stall

I agree^^^!
Ive heard nothing but good things about both Grinds...
the thing thats getting me, is that if i get the smaller stall and more mild EPS cam, that ill regret not going bigger. BUT the thing that worries me about getting the big stall is that it will be very un DD friendly, especially with my high gears.

Well I went with the more aggressive set up. i got a great deal on the stall from a vendor on the forum here. the cam kit should be here some time this week. im pretty excited. i dont see or have heard of very many cammed and stalled C5 coupes...

You should have listen to Pat G, if he dont know than who...lol. That 226/232 pat g cam made 436 on a stock 02 Z06 with headers and air intake a couple years ago on a forum member's car, unfortunatley he sold the car later.

Either cam in my opinion is fine---However i would prefer a 3000-3600 stall----4000 is ok for more of a racing type useage--But on a DD that is driven in TOWN alot--you will get overheating issues of the trans fluid and shorten it's life --Deff would need a super trans cooler set-up--
