What kind of numbers should I get from this cam?

I am looking for someone running a similar cam so I can get a rough idea of what kind of dyno numbers I can expect. I know a lot of factors play into power numbers, I am just looking for a ballpark figure. I have stock heads and 1.6rr's, and pretty much all the bolt ons and I am running through a fresh A4.

222/232@.050
110*lsa
.498/.505 lift on 1.5 rockers

I do not know where the cam spec sheet is and the guys that did the install never told me what my power band or redline is. Anybody got a clue. I never take the car past 6000rpm because I do not know the redline.

I think the biggest factor in your redline would be the valve springs. You need to kno what they are. I hope they are not stock, because that is asking for trouble. As long as you have enough spring pressure and the springs aren't going to bind, you should be good upwards of 6200-6400. The limiting factor becomes the bottom end and how high it will spin before coming apart.

I am not sure what springs they put on the heads, but I know they are good up to .650 lift, so obviously they are not stock. I am still running stock internals, but I did get punch it 30 over with forged pistons.
