The MTI X1 cam might get you close to 40rwhp on your A4. You may want to contact Lou at LGM an inquire about his G5X-2 cam. I know of one guy with stock heads and A4 who got a little over 400rwhp with bolt-ons.

:cheers:

Whatever you go with make sure you don't pick one too small...I made the mistake of worring about getting a cam too big...now the one I have is too small and I want a bigger one. If you are going to be going with a set of Stage II ported heads later on might as well pick a cam that is going to really make those heads shine...I believe LG's G5X-2 is putting out over 400rwhp with Stage II heads...

:yesnod: :yesnod:

Take our advice Mitch (and save some $$$). I went through two other cams before going to Lou for the G5X-2 :crazy: :crazy:

With Lou's Stg. II heads and G5X-2 cam, LGM Pro LT headers and other bolt-ons, guys with the A4 are seeing 420rwhp on average :smash:

On an A4 I would go with a 224/224 561/561 or the same duration with 581/581 lift. This cam will give you great driveability and valve train reliability.

You can do LG's G5x2 with an 114 lsa and you will be very happy and if you want to be a little more aggressive try the 112 lsa.It's all good! :D

If the weather is decent you should run the 11s with no problem. Remember Edgar ran 11.4s "Cam Only".
If all else fails you can install a bad **** TCS4200 like yours truely :D
