I was wanting a little more power from my 05 but didnt really want to sink a ton of money into it. It is already a full bolt on LS2 a4 featuring an airaid, vmax ported tb, ported fast 102, 1 3/4 kooks with catless x pipe and corsa extremes. I called emailed east texas muscle cars and explained my wants to Stephen. I decided on a cam that would be stock converter friendly that would also give a nice lope and hp jump to base c7 range. They installed the 224r with 600 lift and 113 lsa. Car drives like stock, with the idle at 675rpm.

Very happy with the results and would highly recommend east texas muscle cars for any upgrades.

I really dont know bc we didnt do a baseline pull. I had a mail order tune before so i was never really sure. Im guessing that it probably sat around 375 or 380 though. These baby cams usually bring up to 40rwhp and apparently reacted well to my current mods.

Very nice power increase for a small cam. Im sure some power came from a professional tuner(who has an excellent reputation) as opposed to "mail order tune".
Congrats Shawn, looking forward to seeing it soon.
