Default Ls6 or Ls2 cam

I have a 98 a4 that I'm putting 243 heads on. What cam would be better Ls6 or Ls2. ls2 cams are much easier to find at reasonable prices.

Why not put in a even better cam while doing all the work?

Have those heads ported too.

Either cam is a waste of time when you compare gains vs. amount of work involved.

Why would you put a stock cam in the car? I agree put something that's gonna give you some nice gains. All that work and you will be disapointed without porting and a stock cam. DO it right

LS2 cam is the exact same cam as the 2001 LS6. But as the others have said, both are a waste. Get a better cam
