Hey guys, I have a A4 ls1 camaro z28 and am looking to buy a cam. I have 3.73 gears with a cat-back and LTs on they way. I am also looking to get either an lsx or ls6 intake(havn't decided yet) plus the slp cold air setup and a big stall. I am mostly looking for off the line power. I am looking at the comp 224/230 with .581/.588 lift and 114 LS. Would this get me the most power off the line or should I go with something else? I really don't know that much about cams so any input would be great, thanks.

 

for one the ls6 intake would be your best bet and from what I know that the stock heads wont accept a lift greater then .555 lift so if you want a good cam go with that and change out your springs rockers and get better push rods. I know that JD1969 put a 4000 yank stall on his a4 and put up some nice times with his car

 

You can definatly run a cam with more than .555, my cam is a .598. . My set up is as follows
.598/.598 231/237 on a 112 with +2* It's a TSP grind
Comp 918 valve springs
Comp harded push rods
Yank 4000SS stall with a 2.5 STR
3.42 gear
BFG drag radials
UMI lower control arms
This combo has been good for 11.8's @ 113-114 and a 60 foot of 1.54 (1.60's are average).
Also the LS6 is a good intake.

 

Hey I thought the stock heads can only surport a lift of .555 I've read the the ls6 heads are only good for that much? Or does that only cause the stock springs can handle that?

 

The stock springs are only good for stock lift which is only like .45x? You can go as big as .6somthing, I forget the exact number, but it is more of a piston to valve clearance issue than anything. The TREX cam is bigger than .600 and it is made for a stock bottom end.
