texas speed 224r cam
thinking about installing a Texas speed 224r cam in my 2006 auto, how do these effect drivability, gas milage and hows the performace gains?
already installing kooks long tubes, high flow cats xpipe and borla s series exhaust and tuned, just thinking the cam should go in to, thoughts?

Drivability should be good, especially if you choose the 114LSA option. You'll lose a little mileage in the city. Highway mileage shouldn't change much. I would guess 30-40hp over what you have now. A FAST intake mani would be a good bang for the buck addition to the cam. You'll need valve springs for sure and probably push rods too.

I have the 224r cam in my 05 a4. Car has a ported fast 102, kooks off-road x and corsa extremes. Stayed with the stock converter and did 419/402 on the dyno. The dic states 17.4 in the city but I don’t think it’s that good. Love the torque down low in the power band. 113 lsa and idles at 675. Very pleased and could/would easily daily drive. 160 stat has never hit over 220 even in stop and go 95 degree Louisiana summer heat.
