Another cam question................
I've got a 2001 A4 coupe, and it has a couple bolt-ons (HallTech t-1, Magnaflow w/x-pipe, powerloader II). I'd like to get a cam/kit that will put out good power, driveability, and has to pass emissions testing. I'll probably put a stall speed, headers(Yank 3500,FLP kit), on it later, maybe even heads (Andy@A&A heads), but for now,just want one that has good power. I was looking at either TR224, or a Comp cams XE-R series. What would you guys recommend, and what do you have, and do you like it?
Thanks

If I were you I would do a converter before the cam as you will get more bang for the buck and have a faster car with the converter than with the cam.
Then later, it would be wise to do heads and cam at the same time to save labor costs.

Yes, the converter will give you more gains (also having the computer tuned to alter the tranny functions, etc). I suggest a 3500 stall :D
If you go with a cam, get the TR224 on a 114 LSA, Comp 918's, Comp's Ti retainers and chromemoly pushrod kit cam kit and you'll be VERY happy. Contact Paul @ThunderRacing for more info. http://www.thunderracing.com
I have the TR224 and it is AWESOME!
