Please help me chose between these two cam setups
Please help me chose between these two cam setups
I have narrowed it down to these two cams for my 01 T/A a4:
TR220 and the 02 ls6 with asp pulley. I have heard both will net ~20-30 rwhp, just make power at different rpm's. With my ST3200 stall what cam would actually benefit me more? I would like the increased lowend torque of the TR220, but I already have traction issues with the 3.23 gear, ST3200, and nitto dr's. I don't plan on doing heads in the future, but may add a set of long tubes to my already installed offroad y-pipe. Also if I go the LS6 cam route, I will be able to buy the asp underdrive pulley. If I buy TR220 cam package, then no asp pulley, $$ reasons. Where in the powerband (rpm's) will the asp pulley make it's hp. I don't care about dyno #'s, just track times and sotp feeling. Remember this is for an auto, and would like to stay away from the tunning till next year.
Thanks

I run the TR220 on a 112lsa in my car. Untuned, without a ASP pulley, ported TB, or a cutout.. it made the numbers in the sig. The idle is great, no surging or anything. Has gobs of torque and peaks around 6100. I still have the stock rev limiter btw. Before I added the heads I ran a 12.38 at 116.85mph on a 2.03 60ft time. I'm sure in an auto car with a stall and a good 60ft, it would be well into the 11.7x to 11.6 range on stock heads. There is NO comparing the power of the TR220 to the LS6 cam, the TR220 is much more powerful.

A 220/220 cam will certainly benefit you more than the '02 LS6 cam, and it will provide you with a lot more useable power over the LS6 camshaft. We swapped in our 220/220 camshaft in a 2000 Corvette M6, and it picked up 31 RWHP with the stock exhaust manifolds, stock cats, and LS1 intake manifold. Our 220/220 cams are typically ground on a 114 LSA because we sell quite a few of these cams to guys needing to pass emissions. You may pay more for a cam kit for a 220/220 camshaft, but you'll be much happier than if you go with the '02 LS6 camshaft.
FYI, we have our cam kit with our 220/220 camshaft, Manley valve springs, Manley titanium retainers, and TSP hardened pushrods for $749.99. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.
Thanks!
