Most 'off the shelf' cams from LSx shops are on the XE-R lobes.
Fairly aggressive lobes from COMP. But, they also allow for a touch larger cam without flycutting.

228R

One of my favorites.

228 will be an awesome street mannered cam. That is what I would get for a DD beast. I just dont usually agree with these monster cams. Trex, MS3-4, torquer etc.

Peak numbers dont mean shit on a street driven car. You gotta ask yourself what rpm range your car sees, then get a cam for that range.

the 228 is a great cam but since my car is an A4 with the stock stall im a bit worried because this is my DD car.

The stall will hold the performance back a bit, but it will run great.

a 228 is only 4 degrees bigger than the 224 so its not that big of a difference.
i have a 224 on xer lobes and all is good.

i would stall the car before camming it. much better performance gain from the stall.

224/224 .581/.581 114 XER Lobes

I have this cam and its a great DD cam.
