So no problem with the brakes or other key things you need vacuum for? Even in heavy traffic at idle? Thanks For Your Time. Mike...

okay okay I will answer my vaccum is fine, when you first install it you vaccum will be okay something you can live with but get a tune and have your idle raised to around 900to950ish and it like stock plus the extra chop and power. I would go with the 112lsa I peak out around 6300 which is not bad on the stock bottom end. I think 114 would peak out around 5800 to 6000 depending on head work. hope that helped you out.

well a little when i popped the hood but, nothing bad kinda makes your car smell like a carbed car. As for my exhaust though i run straight pipe so i smell everything, since you seem to have lots of questions since this in a a4 i will let you know if you dont get a tune right away you are going to have to throw your car into neutral at stop light and rev it up, because you car will die. great cam I love it not much below 2000rpms but after that it pulls hard.

That is sorta what i was thinking. I do have headers as well but i have the slp TOTL with a custom y pipe i do have hi flow cats already.Im thinking that with my 2800 stall this thing should really jump pretty good out of the box. As for the pcm tune that is the first thing i have planed,atleast untill i can get a dyno tune.Thanks i can really use this kind of input. Thanks For Your Time. Mike.......

Vacuum is low, but will work.
I don't have any problems with vacuum or anything else with the 112 lsa on my car. It runs pretty much like stock at low RPM, but pulls really well up high. I have a dyno tune on it, so it runs pretty well.

Thumbs up No vaccumn probs here....

I run an A4 with a vigi 2800 stall and run the 230/236 112. I have never had any issues with vaccumn or low rpm idle stalling problems. Cam is bad, sounds bad and moves the car. Go for it and have fun with it.
